There is an RT near my home; why can't I get DSL?

Many people assume that if there is an RT near their home, they should be able to get DSL. This is flawed thinking on two levels. First and foremost, that RT may not even serve their home. There are actually cases where a party has an RT in their back yard, but they are not served by it.
Secondly, the RT may not be DSL capable.
