I did and it took my signal strength from 6% to 13%. Dish is flipped upside down and on a camera tripod pointing out a window on the second floor…3G stick is in a plastic box at the old feed-horn location.

What can you do to speed up your mobile broadband if you dont use a dongle?
I’ve got a notebook from Orange with mobile broadband built in, the signal in the area I live in fluctuates all the time.

If the notebook wasnt wifi enabled most of the time it would be useless.

Wow, a little late i see. but, i have a rooted droid and use the wireless tether app. threw my droid in a pan and to my surprise my signal jumped to four bars from one. i cant get high speed internet at my house because i live in the middle of nowhere. finally, highish speed internet connection in the middle of freaking nowhere

It is an excellent improvisation for a reflector. Awesome!

Could you tell me what is the name of the signal measurement application the guy used in the test? I tried a simple app (Mobile Data Monitoring Application), but after I started the monitor I can not connect to the net (H3G Tre Mobile Italy) with my mobile (Nokia 6120classic connected to PC with USB). Or also I am interested in an app I can run on my mobile (Symbian S60 3rd based) if anyone has an idea…

Oh that’s hilarious! I think mobile broadband’s brilliant because it’s just so easy and convenient, but I can’t imagine the developers thinking “I wonder what would happen if…” and reaching the conclusion SAUCEPAN.

Tony, it’s not kb/s but KB/s with a big B, mean byte. So, if it’s 60KB/s = 60X8 = 480kb/s. Almost 0.5 Mb/s. And I believe no GPRS connection can do such thing.

I wonder if sticking my dongle onto an LNB on a satellite dish will work..?..!
