There may be no help. DSL is distance limited to about 5.5km from a sub-station. If you are close to the end of the line you will almost certainly have "iffy" performance. And as more people sign up for DSL on your line your performance may go down also. If cable or FIOS isn't possible as an alternative, then there is always satellite. But satellite has it's problems, too, mainly weather.
