We live a few miles East of I-55 near Springfield and have wireless DSL 
through Springnet. (No cable or DSL service available.) They have access 
points on the Springfield Hilton, one in the Chatham area, and either have or 
are installing one in Mason City I believe. I've been happy with the service 
and the connection since getting it about a year and a half ago. Ours is a 
384 kB connection.

The equipment they use is from BreezeCom. There is a small antenna that's 
rectangular, about 8 inches by 10 inches on the eve of the house and a box 
inside with a 10/100 Ethernet connection. Unobtrusive. No muss, no fuss.

No connection to Springnet other than as a customer.
