My story starts off with the Verizon usb727. Nearly 4 miles from Evdo tower. Got nearly 2 bars of signal and over 105-115 db Jumping all over. Slow download and upload but still faster than dialup cant remember exact but around 500-800 down and 100-200 kbs up. So i decided to order a wilson trucker antenna, very big help!!! After spending an hour or so inside my house I managed to get it down to around 75 db using my laptop as a signal meter. Than I hit very good speeds over 1000 down and 250 up ever time. So very happy with that I decided to order a amp, ordered the 3 watt wilson amp I think the (811201) dual band. This was the best upgrade yet, I was not expecting much considering my gains already but as soon as I plugged it in I hit 55 db, Wow!!! Very fast now everytime over 1900 down and 450 up, Peaked once at 2200 d and 550 up. Also I am now running a cradlepiont 350 router which is good but my evdo still runs faster threw the laptop directly connect with an usb extension cable. I have yet to try a old sate dish to pick up some more signal but my friends have had very good results. As the main purpose for my evdo is for online gaming here are some results that I have came up with.
Call of duty 4 on xbox 360- a constant 3 green bars very playable all day long as long as you get a good host.
World of Warcraft on PC- a green signal ranging from 150-250 ms depending on how much is going on.
Overall very impressed coming from hughesnet!! Thanks for all the help evdoforum and 3gstore!!!!

What next, a Voice Over Internet Protocol telephone ?

Are you now concerned with easily hitting a monthly bandwidth limit ?

Congrats !
