Recommendations: High Gain Antenna recommendations for Wireless ISP

Asked by ottobock in Wireless Networking, Wireless Technologies, Wireless Networking Range Extenders

Hello Experts,
I am a new subscriber to our cities new wireless ISP. Now I'm the first person to say something like: "Don't jump on something new without a chance for bugs to be worked out..." - but the price per year compared to our cable provider was just too much to look past. I'm having a few small issues that I hope you can help me with.

Q: Wireless range is poor - 2/5 bar average. Therefore, I need a recommendation for an affordable High Gain Antenna. Preferably indoor and inexpensive. I currently have a 6dBi directional antenna, but if someone can recommend something that they've had good experiences with - please share!

Note: I am mainly interested in comments about specific antennas you've had experience with, and even more interested if you've used city-wide wireless ISP's and can share your thoughts! - In other words, please dont paste 10 links to various antennas on NewEgg saying "try these."  :-)
