Phone has a much higher distribution than cable. There will be a much high distribution of DSL than cable.

Simply having telephone service does not qualify you to be able to get DSL. Its far more complex than that.

Speaking from personal experience as someone who lives halfway between two central offices 10 miles apart... (DSL range is 3 miles)

Next is wireless.
Have you ever seen any estimates of what amount of bandwidth/person could be sent over a widely used wireless system? I've not seen anything concrete but what I have seen hints that wireless is completely inadequate for popular use.

Fiber is the future.
