Unluckily, ATT's plan was to leave 10-20% of ATT users out of luck for any type of residential DSL.
There are plans to provide service through ATT's 4G LTE wireless system, so if it's there, you might want to watch it for it.
In the 25 percent of AT&T's wireline customer locations where it's currently not economically feasible to build a competitive IP wireline network, the company said it will utilize its expanding 4G LTE wireless network -- as it becomes available -- to offer voice and high-speed IP Internet services. The company's 4G LTE network will cover 99 percent of all in-region customer locations. AT&T's 4G LTE network offers speeds competitive with, if not higher than, what is available on wired broadband networks today. And in many places, AT&T's 4G LTE service will be the first high speed IP broadband service available to many customers.

I have a rural area apartment. I ordered U-Verse Elite ("up to 6mbps") and got the DSL modem with it. The speeds were so slow (less than 1mbps) that I canceled U-Verse and got a 4G LTE access point instead and added it to my pre-existing shared data plan. The download speeds are 20-30mbps on the 4G. Much better as long as I watch the data usage and don't go over my plan allotment. It's still expensive though.
