I just reset the signal amp after complaining to wilsons... apperently you have to be connected before powing up the amp for the 1st time. I just ran a speed test and quite an improvement from my normal 400-600k range. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 1183 Kbps about 1.18 Mbps (tested with 1024 kB) Download Speed is:: 144 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 594 Kbps about 0.6 Mbps (tested with 1013 kB) Upload Speed is:: 73 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Main) Test Time:: 2008/11/26 - 3:53pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-83OF2M7KY U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-QHYLJ749F User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.0.30618; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.5.30729) [!]

I normaly get about 3 bars of signal. I purchased the wilson trucker antenna, 3 watt amp, 100' ultra low loss cable and the needed adapters and fittings. I used a 6' piece of 1" pvc as a mast to get the antenna as high up as possible. Im now getting the max signal bars but I saw little to no difference in my conection speed. The only upside has been that I have absolutely NO dropped conections. Dunno if it was worth the $500 though. just my expirience

Thanks forf the warm welcome. Im using sprint for my evdo provider.
