[Hidden-tech] Verizon Wireless Broadband

[Annamarie Pluhar]

HI all,

My family has a lovely old house in the middle of the National  
Seashore on Cape Cod.  We are internet challenged and I thought folks  
on this list might have some interesting and useful experience to  
relate.

We have Verizon Wireless, a USB device which plugs into a wireless  
router in the attic. After much searching I was able to find the one  
spot where the USB device picks up a signal. I did this two years  
ago.  The device works but not well. Last year I researched and bought  
for the house a Wi-Ex zBoost YX510-PCS-CEL cell phone signal  
extender . For various messed up reasons, I wasn't there when my  
sister attempted to install it. SHe has declared, "it doesn't work".   
Having read all the instructions for careful placement, I'm not sure I  
accept her verdict. On the other hand, she's reasonably smart about  
these sort of things.

According to Verizon coverage map, our house has full data coverage  
and spotty cell phone reception.  So has anything improved in 7  
months? Has anyone  on the edges of coverage put together  a good  
system that they recommend?

Thanks for help.
