Not everybody lives in the boonies who can't DSL. I would go so far as to say most don't. There was a lot of crappy copper put up on the poles during from the 50s to the 70s. And there has been a lot of fiber down into the new neighborhoods. All of which stops DSL. IDSL is not really DSL, and is only available to a small number of the remainder.

They should consider moving to more civilized areas? I guess if you want to live in the boonies you have to sacrifice some modern conveniences.
