So they do not have run lines to the house, but they do need to say they support it for your lines and then they can remotely run a test on a existing phone line in the house and tell you if and what level of service can be added
DSL requires you be within 1 mile of routing center or remote substation, which is highly unlikely for anyone in rural area.
Satellite has horrible latency (good luck with 1000 ping) and insane bandwidth limits. Last client I helped that had it was limited to 300mb/month.
Moral of the story is have fun with dial up, dont choose to live in backwater East Jesus next time.
