How to get AT&T internet in rural area

So, I live in a rural community. My neighbor, who lives across the street from me, has AT&T internet. He says they had a service tech come out to their house and get on the roof and do some walking around and aiming some device toward a tower and was able to successfully get internet provided.

I have another neighbor who lives less than a mile away who also has AT&T internet, though he says he receives his over a traditional phone line.

When I call AT&T, I can't get any help. They said they would send someone to my area (not my home) to check it out. When I followed up weeks later they just told me my area doesn't qualify for service and they'll send out flyers in the future whenever it does... Who can I talk to to get the same service as my neighbor? My house is even set higher up with a cleaner line of sight in every direction!
