Re: Hughesnet VS Verizon EV-DO
said by bigdawwg  :I get 800 to 1130 down and 300 to 400 up with the Wilson Omni. I want to try out an amplifier, that will be my next venture. Unless you regularly see your bars drop and speeds with them, you probably won't see much with an amplifier. To stay compliant, the amps are built to do *nothing* when they are not needed, and yours sounds like not needed.
I have an amp, because I never know whether I will be in solid 1x, solid RevA, or fringe. Works fine with/without the amp in solid RevA, and the amp doesn't improve things at all when there isn't a RevA tower for 50 miles around, but when there is a fringe RevA tower, I get it with the amp.
