Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services typically have a distance limitation from the local telephone switch or central office, often around 3 miles (4.8 km), beyond which the service quality and connectivity significantly degrade. Since Claire lives more than three miles from a local telephone switch, DSL would not be a viable option for her.
