Mobile Broadband Signal Enhancement

Asked by SamB in Broadband Internet, Wireless Technologies, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Hi Experts,

Not sure where to post this - but here goes.

I'm looking to relocate my home-office but have realised that it's unlikely I will be able to obtain ADSL through a landline due to distance from the exchange.

I've looked at Satellite Broadband but that seems both expensive and restricted due to latency issues.

I believe the way forward may be mobile broadband using one of the UK's mobile broadband supplies such as Vodaphone / 3 / O2 etc.

However, although I can obtain a 'normal' 2G style signal for my mobile phone to make phone calls I don't believe I can obtain a suitable signal for mobile broadband.

My question is

1) Does mobile broadband seem a reasonable approach or is there an alternative?

2) Is there a way of improving the mobile broadband reception? I guess the usual small aerials used on mobile phones or mobile broadband adapters are pretty weak in their reception - am I able to purchase some type of 'commerical' aerial to improve reception?

Thanks in advance,

Sam
