They installed the pole with antenna on the side of my house nearest the water tower and ran a cable inside to the router. Worked far better than anything we had ever known and used it for several years until the telcos caught up. Hopefully they will provide you better service at a lower cost.

Danny, the AT&T Fixed Wireless Internet service has been on for a week. It works great. 20 mbit download and 10 upload. Only issue is that they keep dropping the IP lease and picking it back up again. I use a tool called CPanel to get my email and manage my website. Had to do a work around to get these to work properly but otherwise seamless. Will be calling Hughesnet tomorrow to drop their service. BTW: We can stream 1080P with no buffering on Netflix and with Hughesnet, could only stream 480 with occassional buffering. At about half the price! I got the no contract service for $10 more a month (they give you $10 off for the first year if you sign a contract then it goes up to $70 a month anyway).
