    DSL is land line broadband.. Its transmitted over your telephone line..

    Did you do the phone number test on their site.. usually tells if the line is good enough.. But ring their CS anyway.. Sure they will have more information on their availability!

    Where abouts are you? Options could be cable or fixed wireless.

    DSL has a max distance of about 18K feet or roughly 5KM. Looks like you may be too far from the exchange to get DSL on your line. Suggest you get some of your neighbour's to see if their lines past before ruling out distance as an issue.
