Hot-rodding! I like it.

You're right that the vast majority could care less what their highest speed is as long as they can stream Netflix, etc.

Nice work on this. Band selection is indeed done based on signal, but they always try to push you to the higher frequency bands, as the lower frequency bands are more valuable due to range and penetration. I'm tempted to try this setup my self, but I suspect my wife wouldn't be too happy about an a...

The variables never end with this stuff. :shock: :lol: Especially when the carriers give out zero information on this stuff and you have to try and figure out what they're doing, I know where all the towers are in my area (they're all on top of mountains) but do you think AT&T would tell me whi...

My understanding of parabolic physics is limited but I believe for a grid antenna to give 24dbi gain at 700mhz it would have to be more than 6 ft. in diameter. That's probably why you don't see them.

Very nice. So you don't see band 12 at all on this feed horn, or you are manually blocking it in the modem? Maybe the mf279 is picking up some other bands. Are you able to see which bands it gets? Well I can't verify exactly what the mf279 is doing because it only shows signal strength and 4g or 4g...

That is darn good for 15MHz. You have to be pretty happy with that. So it only has Band 2? No other bands available? Which modem are you using? Previously I had satellite internet and with no other options you could say I'm pretty happy. Streamed a 4k movie the other day and it didn't buffer once. ...

@coldknob: Are you saying you are getting a peak of 85+ Mbps from a single carrier Band 2, 15 MHz wide? With an ethernet connection I get 85+ with the mimo setup, 45 max with a single antenna connection. I'm on ATT, very rural, lightly used tower. Although the tower is 7 miles away I have clear lin...

Sorry to be so late to this party but I believe I have found the ultimate "need for speed" solution. Time won't allow me to go into all of the details of my journey, but needless to say I have amassed quite a collection of antennas, amplifiers, cables etc. My home is in the mountains, clos...
