Putting high speed data down a phone line which was really designed for 1200 baud is a minor miracle. C Message Weighting defines what voice frequencies will pass down the wire and DSL is shoved in the out of hearing range. It can be done, but not economically. Broadband over Power Line (BPL) is a technological bust and creates quite a bit of radio interference. Fiber optics would bring all the city services and more to rural areas but the construction costs are beyond sky high. Next the HRC will be demanding water and sewage services for rural residents. I need hydro and a phone, I like High Speed but I don't consider it a right. It would be nice if politicians would research what is required to do this kind of thing.
