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. 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.

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. -- We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us.

What the OP is describing are ILEC boundaries. These came about over 100 years ago when a company setup shop in an area.
