A Couple questions (USB 720)

I have a USB720. My RSSI on average is about -100 in National Access (it is really slow) and when I do get Rev A it is about - 91. It goes a hell a lot faster in Rev A but, sometimes it goes into Roaming.. My RSSI: is than about -89 but, it loads really slow, and I can barly do anything with it. Is it possible if I get a booster antenna that it will keep me in Rev A most of the time? or is it just a waste of my money.. if so how much will it lower my RSSI if I get an antenna..

Thanks.

I have a booster antenna.

w/o antenna : -87dbm (give or take 3dbm)
w/ booster antenna : -73 (give or take 3dbm)

your mileage may vary.

I would almost recommend a stronger antenna however I do not own one (from 3g) so I cannot tell you how much better then the booster they really are.

I <3 my booster antenna.

I use sprint so I can lock mine in Rev ~~ However I've read others users with verizon it will stay in Rev with an antenna...

Wouldn't go the cheap way and ebay one. I bought a 13dpi antenna and it doesn't out perform my little 3dpi booster. It was to cheap to be true anyways.
