Well really not much you can do. They have a conservative limit to avoid
problems. You really can't blame them. The distance is in copper though.
If you are on an RT (remote terminal) it would be the distance from there.
I am actually over 4 miles from the CO but on an RT and the actual copper
length is about 1000 feet.
Unless you want to go cable the only thing to do is wait for FIOS. It is
coming. Then you will have your choice of up to 30M.
