Sending data over two copper wires, initially for voice communications, (DSL) was designed to give the phone companies something to offer, putting them into a competing market with cable companies. The two-copper-wire infrastructure is limited by distance and the more repeaters that are in-between you and your phone company switch (usually in a downtown area), the more problems may result. Rural areas generally have poor DSL service if they have gotten it to work that far away from the switch. I'd only recommend DSL if you know your neighbors have good service with it.

Otherwise, you are more likely to have better service out of cable. I know in past years people complained about Charter at Lake Martin, but honestly I've not had the problems I thought I might have in Coosa County. I think the problems people have had are locational infrastructure issues with old cable and bad connections (water entering the line, etc). Those might affect a particular street or area of the lake where the line goes down a peninsula to a dead-end. Charter installed fiber in some areas and that has improved things.

Wireless 4G is an alternative if your signal is good but there are bandwidth limitations. If you like to watch a lot of video, it is probably not for you.
