She might be talking about trunk line, which may even be fiber, that can't simply be tapped to provide you with service. Feeder line would need to be run that 1.3 miles.
The trunk cables are connected to the branch or feeder cables through
special bridger amplifiers. Once going through the bridger, the signals are
passed on through the streets and neighborhoods on feeder cables. Small
amplifiers maintain the strength of the downstream signals on the feeder cables.
These feeder amplifiers are called line extenders. It is the feeder cables that
provide a place for the wires going into each subscriber's home to hook up.
These home connection points are called taps. The tap is the transition point
between the feeder system and the house wiring or drop system.
I think your best solution is help pay for the construction. Or, move to a serviceable residence.
