DSL service in the US can be provided by independent ISPs. The telcos killed them off by letting their copper wires rot so useful broadband isn't achievable.

- zekica 4y agoDLS on loops longer than 1000ft/300m is not competitive at all today. 1000ft can give you 70/20Mbps with VDSL2 (dedicated bandwidth of 17MHz) or 120/40Mbps with VDSL2 vectoring (dedicated bandwidth of 34MHz). The second option requires and uses much more electricity in the street cabinet. Neither option compares to DOCSIS 3.0 (no requirement to update splitters), DOCSIS 3.1 (requires updated splitters in the networks) (shared bandwidth up to 2GHz) and those won't be able to compete with Fiber's shared or dedicated 1THz+ bandwidth.
