Mobile phone signal boosters

[botfch]

Anyone got experience with these?

Debating f**king off the landline broadband as we do well to get 10mb/s when it’s actually working well.

Mobile signal outside Is 30-40mb/s where as inside the best you can get is 2-7mb/s so need to boost the signal inside the house.

What about near or at a window?

Could you have a 5G modem on a windowsill to do your internet?

Tried that it’s 7 inside, 40 holding it outside the other side of the glass.

Mad how much the glass affects it.

You could get an external antenna, something like this - https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/prod...GySOh9bvSAfGAy2lg20vedBjNHhc4UB8aAnsqEALw_wcB (not a recommendation, just first one on google).

When we first moved in the signal was crap, we live on a long road and our house is in a dip. I put a Chinese amplifier/repeater in the loft and it worked well, no signal to pretty much all the signal for anyone who visited.

Since moving to Vodafone signal is great so if you can't be bothered to faf about maybe look into a different mobile provider?

However I would never be without proper broadband, are you in the sticks to only be getting 10mb???!

We are 500mb from BT which came with a free VOIP phone (so no line rent) for £40 a month...

North Wales village for you, I can see the mast from my house so mobile broadband seems a better route.

I mentioned in another thread..

I have Three 4g broadband, standard router was poop, 8mbps.

I got an antenna but the router picks what it thinks is the best signal, so might pick the slowest tower..

I now run Three on a (£200) 4g Mikrotik router, lock my tower bands, (£70) poynting omni directional external antenna, happy 30mbps.

i now have 2 directional antennas (£100) to put up and should see 50+ mbps, but the roofs wet and I’m not climbing up there and falling off.

with getting, but you may find you need to spend mucho money to get the speeds you what if the signal is poor or your locking onto a slow tower. It might not just be £25 and month and problem solved.

There are other products like this happening in 2023. I’d wait and see.

You got fairly new windows?

Glass has fucked us over many a time at work with signal levels

Just to add in here, we had bad and patchy signal since moving in.

Ordered one of these and it works very very well.

£1300 f**king pounds, thirteen hundred million pounds.

Could hire a person to run up the hill with an antenna on a long wire anytime you wanted to make a call for that.

Does it also cook your brain while you sleep?
