So I thought with the Caradon transmitter being just up the hill why cant we use 3G? With my HTC stuck out the Loft window I get up to 14megs on EE ( orange) Direct line of sight with the Transmitter, but inside the house its flaky and just about the same as ADSL. does anyone have experience of a good sim router and does a 3G Ariel make much difference? I have looked at something like this http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=15278 poss with the Ariel from the bottom of the page, as an installed solution in the house but before I tell BT where to put their Crapband what do you think of the long term viability of such a system.A femtocell may be what you need to boost signal indoors: http://ukmobilereview.com/2013/01/ee-launch-signal-box-femtocell/ I have a couple of clients that use one.
I think you've missed something ....It's the broadband he's tring to make faster - if you have rubbish broadband in the first place, then a femtocell won't help. Femtocells use broadband.
