I know a lot, but it's all stuff I've learned while doing it.

Nearly impossible, unfortunately. To offer DSL, you need to have
access to the copper pair running to the customer prem. And in most
areas, that is all telco owned.

The other one I heard was to buy an old alarm monitoring company, as
they used to have dedicated copper run to each building for the alarm
system.

Otherwise, you have to enter into an agreement with the telco to
colocate a DSLAM in their office and gain access to the copper pairs.

The other option would be reselling DSL ports for the telco, but in my
experience that has not been a great money-maker.
