So I thought with the Caradon transmitter being just up the hill why cant we use 3G?With my HTC stuck out the Loft window I get up to 14megs on EE ( orange)Direct line of sight with the Transmitter, but inside the house its flaky and just about the same as ADSL. does anyone have experience of a good sim router and does a 3G Ariel make much difference?
