My closest CO is over ten miles for Bellsouth yet if I was able to get Windstream I'd be 2 miles from the CO. Gotta love those LATA boundaries. I am served from a CO in a different county and in a different service area. This means that when I make a call to the ZIP code that the USPS says I live in, it is long-distance. It's also in a different service area, so the rates are the same as calling another state. LATA boundaries are arbitrary and capricious. They were setup with divestiture. What the OP is describing are ILEC boundaries. These came about over 100 years ago when a company setup shop in an area.

cbraley join:2002-08-03 Brodhead, KY ·Windstream	reply to AJICQ499087 I can tell you for a fact that in Lincoln County Kentucky, you can only get broadband service in the two largest towns. While one county in any direction you can get broadband throughout the entire county. My farm is 500 yards from the county border and I cannot get broadband because I'm in BellSouth territory while my neighbor enjoys broadband because the next county is in Verizon/Windstream territory.
