DSL needs less then 3 miles of copper wire between you and the Telco's closest fiberoptic interconnect.

So there's lots of really rural areas still without it.

My town is "Rurban" -- rural / suburban. Although the telephone company installed the fiberoptic and neighborhood junction boxes (I forget what the official term is for those substations) 15 years ago, it's only been in the last year they finally started turning on DSL through them.

Those junctions let the phone company remove a tremendous amount of copper trunks that were hanging on the poles and running 12, 15 miles from the Central Office...and probably 20-25 miles for some of the smaller towns around us.

First generation of them were above ground; 2nd generation they installed underground 'cause it caused such a service disruption when someone plowed into one with a car :D

Even with the neighborhood boxes live, there's still a few isolated spots of my town > 3 miles as the phone lines go away from the fiberoptics.
