Recently I made an improvement at this QTH after having Sprint 3g which was
not even a joke....in my opinion, those guys should be arrested for false
advertising.
I got an Apple IPhone5 and use the 'personal hotspot' feature to provide ATT
4G LTE service to my (this) computer.
I got rid of all the outside antennas, cables and equipment that captivate
me to a desk.
Now....I am fully portable and it costs less as well.
My service with ATT has 10gb of data per month....I do everything and go
anywhere with this setup on the internet and I haven't even got close to the
10gb limit.
I just tested the speed....it is just over 20mbps download.
There are no modules or anything else like cables, antennas etc that connect
to the computer.....the IP5 and the computer talk over the WIFI built into
the computer.
I'm very happy with its performance and convenience.....and there is
absolutely no interference from/to this setup on any band or on broadcast AM
radio which I listen to a lot.
Highly recommended.

Subject: Topband: Wireless Internet RFI Issue
I recently had an internet wireless antenna/unit installed as our DSL was
painfully slow.
Now I notice RFI in the AM broadcast band and into the 160 meter band.
There may more
RFI issues on other bands however at this point I haven't noticed anything.
I see that Fair-Rate makes a series of "New Low Frequency Suppression Cable
Component ferrites, though I am not sure what I should purchase.
It looks like that I should be looking for a "certain impedance" for a
particular frequency.
Any help would be appreciated.
