So why is the 500mW Alfa adapter so much better?

Send an email to sales@3gstore.com with your address details and ask them to check for service in your area. They will map it exactly and give their opinion.

As far as antennasearch.com goes, unless the antennas you checked belong to a cell company or wisp... don't bother. Construction companies and funeral homes also use antennas...they won't help ya

To expand the 4 mile circle simply do a new search for an address that is at the edge or adjacent to the current search, a new circle will then be drawn that covers towers/antennas in that area.

OK, so this weekend I purchased a Verizon cell phone to see what type of signal I got at the house.

Outside i was connected to the network and actually made a call but I moved SLIGHTLY and the call was disconnected.

I could stay connected to the network but calls kept failing then.

I'm thinking of buying one of these zBoost products to see if the signal could be boosted. I should then buy a good directional antenna, correct? Any recommendations?
