If you can get enough people that want DSL in your area, you can petition to your local DSL provider to extend access to your area.
I work for Verizon and we will often install extensions to area's that we deem profitable, based on popularity of demand.
If not, you can ask about the possibility of fiber optics. They run the FIOS down beside the railroad here but it's not yet open to the public (here, at least). Business only.
Worth a shot though.
