I would think DSL/ADSL should be available there, it's the same infrastructure and doesn't hog the phone line while using internet, so you can call and browse at the same time.
Dslhas a signal strength limit that requires stations every so many linear meters of line. I forget what that is (and the actual terms) but I did dsl tech support once upon a time. If they don't build one of those stations every like 1.5km or whatever it is, there is no dsl and they're not doing it to support 1-5 people paying them $40 or whatever a month
For one of them, yes, but it costs more than they want to pay.
For the other...sort of yes, but it goes out 50%-70% of the day for some dumb reason I've yet to figure out. The company has no plans to fix/improve it...and they're the same company offering the dialup backup.
