I finally got the technician to come out and look at the situation, and he says max service distance is 300', and I feel adding 200' more feet is doable.
I read a bit about signal loss and I understand the limits, but would a booster or amplifier work in this case? Also, they offer 1Gb internet, so is it naïve to think that even if we lose some signal along the way, it could still be plenty to enjoy fast speeds?
Side note: bureaucracy/red tape alert! The technician in person said the only issue is distance and would require a tap be installed, but the customer service person on the phone across the country and their 'leadership' say they would need to build a plant which is somewhere between $20,000 and $50,000, which sounds ridiculous. I called them out on it; I said I can see the lines for service and even a little box with six outlets on it, only two of which are being used, but they just won't work with me.
I'm trying to do research and get as much info as possible to move forward. Thanks in advance!
