I had the same situation and was told I couldn't recieve it but I've now got connected with the Extended Reach trial that BT are doing. Basically if you are just too far for ADSL then you may be able to get connected with the Extended Reach trial (using normal ADSL equipment). For ISPs that are participating in the trial have a look at http://www.adslguide.org/newsarchive.asp?item=1175
Another thing worth trying if you get desperate is try ordering "BT broadband" as they are more inclined to try and make it work (I know of someone who is much further than 5.5km from the exchange and tried ordering with other suppliers, but then when he ordered with BT they actually tried an install) or you could try http://aaisp.net which is who supplies my broadband after 4 or 5 suppliers rejected me (line was out of spec, they managed to get BT to replace the crufty wires) and that included BT.
