Read quite a bit on this forum, very informative. I have recently moved and found out that I can't get any sort of landline internet connection. Anyhow, I'm in a valley and 4G coverage is depicted all around me (within just several hundred feet) but I guess with the valley and lack of line of sight, I just can't get my Samsung Epic to pick up a 4G signal. However, 3G doesn't seem to be too bad, although sporadic. I've ran several dozen bandwidth speed tests and I get anywhere from 100 to 500 Kbps download and an average of consistent upload of around 150 to 200 Kbps up.
Signal strength is roughly -90 to -100 dBl, would an external antenna improve or solidify this? I guess I'm just wondering if I should go with an external antenna (omni or directional)? Seems directional is better. If I could concrete my numbers to a download of roughly 400-500 Kbps, I'd be happy with this. My only alternative is satellite, which won't work because of the extreme latency for my work.
