Pocatello is a fairly small city. I use a WiMax connection at 7 Mbps up / 15 Mbps down with a roof top antenna. It's better than any DSL option. The local cable internet service makes claims a 50 Mbps, but often fails to deliver. I'm waiting on a small firm in town installing TruFiber. It puts a bi-directional 1 Gbps fiber optic right to your premises. That would be a big improvement and would be less temperamental than the dish on the roof. Filling the dish with snow or gusty winds can degrade the signal path.
