Hi TTers,

Does anyone have experience with systems purporting to boost access to weak 
cell towers?

Where our cottage is located, our cell coverage often arrives from the other 
side of Lake Winnipeg, about 25 miles away. In summer, one bar on the phone's 
"s-meter" is the most we can hope for. Data moves at a glacial pace.

I've found online systems comprising an outdoor yagi, an amplifier and an 
indoor panel antenna said to serve as a sort-of repeater to offer stronger 
reception and improved data rates.

Do these work?
