DSL is limited by distance from the central office, and by the connection type within your house/business. The distance thing is roughly limited to 2km (with standard ADSL). Beyond that and you start getting so much signal degradation that it becomes unusable or unpractical. This may be the tree thing they were talking about... the tree being roughly 2km from the central office.
Well, that is ONLY true if all the line from the "central" is copper. Verizon and others have and are still running fiber, which removes ALL distance barriers. Just an FYI. Fred
