Has anyone done this? Your experience would be invaluable to hear about it. I am looking at a Wilson product, and I really could choose to use it with either AT&T or Verizon, as each has good coverage once I climb the 40 foot antenna tower. Here is the product I am considering...460103 - Wilson DB Pro
This would be a do-it-myself installation. In my home now I get 1 bar, too low for good cell voice use. If I climb the 40 foot tower it goes up to 4 bars by the time I am 3/4 of the way up, so I assume that at the top the signal strength is outstanding. I assume if I get the receiving antenna up there near the top and properly aimed, I will get plenty of signal strength to actually use a data plan and get the freakin internet in my home. Sure glad ***** got this all figured out for me (my favorite broken promise of all of them!).
For lack of a fiber line available, cell based data is about my best choice. The neighbor has tried two different satelite systems and never been satisfied. I understand the Dish plan is one-way, download only, using the phoneline for upload (is this true?). To help pay for some of this new technology, I will probably pull my landline.
Thanks for anything you guys can add, I dont know crap about most of this.
