Why is it for dsl, ypu have to be within so many feet of a station. I was reading this one post, the guy mention his town like 4 miles away from the co with dsl. It suppose tobe 12,000 feet or less. Why is that?
 
More copper = more attentuation = slower speeds. The guy 4 miles out was likely connected to a remote terminal. Fiber is ran to the terminal then copper to his house. 18000feet or less of copper you can get DSL, I think that has become the cutoff line. But at 18000 you won't be getting the best speeds.
 
You are right about the limit being around 18000 feet ... reason is dsl runs at up to 10Mhz Frequency ... and as stated the longer the run, the more the
signal loss ... I am about 16000 feet from co here, and as such can only get 1790KBS download speed .. if I was a lot closer it could be up to 3000KBS download

I am not sure if dsl can be fed out of a remote terminal or not ... all depends on if the phone company decided to add the dslam eqipment and a high speed fiber
pipe to feed it (the dslam at the remote) .. they won't do it unless they have a lot of customer demand for it
