That would depend on the type of ADSL equipment they're using. Modern DSL
should reach 5 1/2 km (3.5 miles). If they're running rate adaptive adsl
they may be able to extend that reach to about 6km  (3.73 miles).

Of course your distance from the exchange may have only a passing
resemblance to your distance from the exchange in terms of miles of copper
:)

I've seen ADSL here in the UK at those sort of distances with line noise at
or near the accepted max of 55db that sits comfortably at 512 kbits down /
256 kbits upstream.
