I miss read as well, thought 4.7 miles
ok, if 5km is the max distance they support, Is that close to 32,000 feet? 32,000 feet is that max distance that I know of DSL being able to run on copper, and that is with speeds reduced down to about 256kb up by 256 kb down when in sync. The farther out the most trouble with sync, that is why alot of companies don't push it over 18,000 feet.
The company I do support for, requires with in 18,000 feet, but I have seen a few customers get all the way up and provisioned at 24,000 feet.(does not show up until line tests are done that measure the line) some get connected at reduced speeds, others can't gain sync.
At 18,000 feet I have seen some customers at full sync rate of 1504/256 and also seen customers that can't gain sync.
The footage that matters is the Copper in the line from the CO or remote.
Some customers are miles and miles from the nearest Co, but there are remotes like Sarge described that are feed by fiber.
Then you just have to be go by the copper lenght from the remote to your home.
I think the closest a remote would ever be to a CO would be about 36,000 feet,
that way if you drew a 18,000 feet circle around a CO and a 18,000 feet circle around the remote they would not over lap, allowing for the most coverage area of the 2 systems.(that is based on providers that do no service over 18,000 feet of copper)
Other providers would do about the same thing but work on the 32,000 feet from Co, and 64,000 feet from co for the remote.
