DO NOT add length to the cable between the card and antenna as this can have a bad effect on the data card and your signal. An amp can resolve those issues.

I run the Cyfre that I bought from Alltel and it works very well!

The proper way to break in a Harley: Grab a fist full of throttle, and ride it like you stole it!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20830352 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:03:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793185 just2stoned : It's been a few weeks now and I'm loving this service. I've found out which antenna's I need and I've already gotten them in the mail, however I ordered the wrong adapter cord so I had to send it back to wpsantennas.com. I have no idea how long it'll take for them to ship me back the right one but I'm hoping this will boost my signal to 3 or 4 bars. It teeters between 1 and 3 bars but usually has a solid 2 all the time.

The antenna I got is a Freedom antenna ($39.95) and the adapter cord ($14.95). Hopefully this will both increase my signal strength which in turn boosts my download/upload speeds. My friend who brought over the card in the first place gets a solid 4 bars of signal and he's getting full 1.5mb connection out of his (180-190kb/s). I usually get 100kb/s from the start but then it'll slow down to around 60-70kb/s. It's not a 1.5mb connection like wildblue has but I'm hoping with the antenna booster it will be closer to it. Alltel has already won the battle just based off latency alone. I can't say enough about how much fun it is to play CoD4 multiplayer (and how very angry it can make you!) and be able to finally raid in my mmorpg's.

Yay alltel!

I'm new to this forum but i've hung out in the Wildblue forums for a long time. I've been searching for alternatives to my shoddy Wildblue service for a long time. I've contacted many of the cell phone providers that offer wireless internet but they always told me the service wasn't available in my area. Recently(monday) a friend came over with a little USB device called the Huawei EC228 alltel wireless EVDO access card. He himself has been on dial up since the dark ages and he said when he tested it out before he came over and it was AWESOME! I didn't believe him of course so I told em to bring that sh*t over!

He did. It took all of 5 mins to install, connected immedietely and I proceeded to surf the web. After visiting my favorite sites that take forever to load, I was pleasently suprised at how fast it went! I only had 2 signal bars out of the 4(57% signal) but I was growing impatient so I told em I'm firing up WoW. My main is a 70 lock on argent dawn realm and I happened to be in shat, so I immedietely joined an AV(alterac valley) battleground which is 40 vs 40 pvp. I've not done AV prior to this mind you cause I was playing on dial up. Dial up let me play all the other bg's decently, but not optimally. Now I entered AV expecting to see toons "blinking" all over the place(lagging) but I saw none. I was chillin with 37 others at the start and I was able to instantly cast my spells before the fight.

The battle has begun. I moved out to summon my epic mount.. blam. instant. I'm now running with the pack of horde not lagging one bit! Holy shizzle! Ok it works good so far, what about when combat starts? Here comes 10-20 allies! The sh*t has hit the fan now but I am casting spells and running and OMFG this is working great!!!! I've now got a wide grin on my face from ear to ear. Quick glance at the ping meter in WoW(addon one) shows me at 220ms. WOW!

We lost that AV but I won in my opinion. After that AV I quickly called up Alltel and order the same thing my buddy just got. It should be here today or tomorrow.

I only have 1 question though. It has a port on the side for an external antenna. I've tried looking up on the net what type of connection this is but haven't locked in on an answer. I currently have a linksys wrt300n wireless router with some extra antennas, even a high gain booster antenna, and was curious if these are what they refer to?

I live way out in the boonies so I was positively amazed the service worked the way it did out here. Wildblue was great at first I thought with 600ms pings being the only alternative to dial up, but since they did their traffic shaping and ping times starting at 1200ms, the service quickly fell to the depths of the toilet with a giant log coming in right behind them. I hope this new EVDO service is reliable enough to do what I want it to do. I enjoy youtube movies as much as the next guy but I will sacrifice fast download speeds for lower latency anyday... ANY DAY!
