Have you found this to be true? Generally they are, but it shouldn't be NECESSARY. As long as the telco has copper from Point A to Exchange A to Exchange B to Point B, and can connect (read: is willing to connect) the necessary jumpers, it should work. The total cable length must be within range, of course... If they have no copper running from exchange A to exchange B, you are stuck. You'd need a T1 or a fiber or something in that case.
