I used to work for a DSL provider, and the main reason why you can't get DSL in your area has to do with the proximity of your home to something called a "switch" - a major routing station that directs traffic for all of the phone exchanges in your area. Also, if the switching hub in your area is old, or your home doesn't have fiber optic phone lines, you won't get DSL in your area.

Cable internet is fine - in many instances, it's faster and more reliable than DSL. I'd look into that as an option.
