In the meantime, Verizon is currently installing dedicated fiber optics from each house to the CO. That is a T1 equivalent line from every house to the CO using fiber. A T1 line is typically 24 phone lines in one wire. They are literally installing fiber in every service area of every PA exchange as fast as they can hire help. Found anengineer walking the streets that would be fibered that week - which defines the horse whose mouth provides this information.
Distance alone is not a limiting factor on DSL. If your neighborhood is serviced by a concentrator or a SLIC, then you cannot have DSL. The copper wire must be instact from your home to the CO - no amplifiers, splitters, loading coils, or taps permitted. Any of these can result in no DSL service.
