yes, that was the word i was looking for.. indeed 5 km is the limit.

btw, you dont need a modern switching station... one from 1913 could do
the trick too. you just need a modem at the other end. but they dont
tell the public that (because they need a reason not to offer adsl to
everyone right away...) the modifications are nevertheless quite costly
i hear.
