Looks like no dice on uverse, says its not available. i thought uverse was

how can att/bellsouth be the ILEC and have zero internet options at all but
be offering pots? Only logical thing I can think of is distance from the CO
making dsl a no-go but i cant get an actual qual to atleast confirm that :(
