Verizon delivered the antenna to me.
I canceled tomorrow's cable internet installation.
Now it is 400kbps constantly in the evening.
Never been this good.
But the antenna is outside. If any one steals my
antenna, I will have to buy another.
I will order another antenna tomorrow as backup.
I have prepared for the worst. I don't screw the
connector that connects the antenna's cable to my
CDMA USB modem. I use a piece of aluminium foil
to wrap and connect the outer metal connection
screws. Wrapping it like rapping a drumstick for
cooking.
This way, if someone pulls my antenna from outside,
the cable will detach from my USB modem without
pulling damaging my USB modem.
I move to this basement apartment. The antenna
uses a strong magnet and I attach it to the
air conditioner's outside base frame.
Any neighbor children can pull the antenna.
John
