I live off Coosa 20 too.

You see, I know all about this as we went through it just last year. I was lucky with Charter, because my pre-existing cabin had actually had cable out to it before. But, if you will go by their office, you may get lucky. Tell them that everyone around you has cable. It will help if you have the name of at least one of your neighbors or the previous owners of your house. You'll want to have your lot number. It won't be easy, it won't likely be quick, but it can be done.

With regard to the landline, if you are wanting one, will be trickier. We knew at least one other person who lived in our area that we concluded must have a landline and from there we were able to convince the phone company that there were in fact, phone lines out here. But it took many, many phonecalls and a lot of time. At one point, the phone company told us that we likely just couldn't have a phone.

My problem was further exasterbated by the "unofficial" name of our street. Our street has no official name, but everyone knows it by it's unofficial name. And then Coosa changed it.

Coosa went around and gave out little orange cards with your tentative 911 address. Of course, they have since called me and told me that they will be changing that name, because they "forgot" to run it against Tallapoosa County records and since Alex City is our mailing address, they will have to give a name not already in existence.
And since Coosa has not yet put the 911 in effect, you'll probably have little hope in using that address with any of the utilities. They do not make it easy.

Persevere.
