You should be able to get 7 meg at 12,000 ft (2.2 miles) 3 meg at 16,000 (3 miles) and 1.5 at 18,000 ft (3.4 miles).
Is everyone in Verizon territory over 18,000 ft (3.4 miles) away from their CO?
What about it. They already covered that most will only be able to get 1.5-7. And FYI, anyone fed from a remote is limited to 3.0, so even 7 is lucky for most.
