I'm guessing no one on here has put together a full building solution? I will attempt to document as much as I can when I do. Where would I need to put that if I do?

I have that but unfortunately it does not cut it. I already have VoIP and several streaming and video game devices. My connection tops at 3Mps I have it but it goes out all the time because of network congestion.

Do you think it would be worth trying to get Wimax with another antenna? or should I just wait for LTE and hope that they bring it to my area. Here is my general location. http://g.co/maps/pqjh8

I understand. To have a full solution I will need different antennas (one for each band) and multiple amplifiers (again one for each band). I just don't want to oscillate the signal with multiple high power antennas inside my house. I was hoping someone here had some experience with the set up I am envisioning. Since the amps don't care what type of signal they are grabbing and boosting (as far as I know) even if the PCS signal turns to LTE I should continue to receive a good signal in that band, correct? Also what polarity do the towers use? Vertical or Horizontal?

My understanding is that CDMA1X will be on 800Mhz and LTE on 1900 ultimately. Correct me if I'm wrong. if you have a current phone you should not have any issue for many years to come.

I have a particular problem with signal around my house. All sort of signals do not get to my house. I will lose all but the strongest radio signals even FM and OTA TV, cellphone is no different. I recently switched from iDen (which worked reasonably well - ~90db) to CDMA (which leaves much to be desired ~110db+ on a good day) So long story short I decide to get a booster for my house. I already have a TV antenna that I installed myself so I can attest to its proper grounding and stability. On my roof I get around 100db on my PCS phone so I will need to get a specialized antenna to be able to grab signals from my tower about 2.6 miles NE of my house. (My closest Wimax tower is 4.2 miles ~13degrees east of the first tower, I thought about getting a booster to pick that up but given recent developments I guess I can wait for LTE.) I have found this antenna: http://www.zdacomm.com/1900-mhz-grid-paraboilc-dish-antenna-series.html Now I want to match it up with a reasonable amp that I can also split to three internal antennas if necessary to cover my whole house with reliable signal. I was hoping I could get some insight from some of you about this idea and whether NV will make this whole effort moot. (I tend to believe not because all carriers have issue at my house) Also I was hoping you could give me some advice on whether this antenna will do the trick or its just overkill, I rather give the booster the best signal I can get to it so that I get the best signal possible at my house.

yes That would be a shame since that service is very appreciated by people that go to South America often for business. Hopefully they will have some sort of world phone with GSM and CDMA and PTT

What I want to know if how the whole roaming thing is gonna work because up until now I could go traveling to those countries and basically roam for free. Since they are still iDen and soon switching to qchat as well but using HSPA+ as opposed to EDVO. Can anyone give any insight?

I have been able to talk internationally since I got my new admiral three months ago. So I don't know what the big fuss is about...

I live a bit further away than most and around my way I don't get much service in my house, mainly because of power lines. I got the new Airave but its drops my calls if I walk to far from it or if the phone decides I have a good signal from the tower. I am thinking of just breaking down and getting a repeater in my house. Any ideas? I am not sure if when NV my signal will improve enough to where I won't need it anymore.

I'm not sure how good a conversation you can have on those loud trains. For one I would like to be able to get calls when I am on the train in case there is a change of plans or if there some sort of scare or something that causes my chosen venue to close, something that I have found increasingly common in the past few weeks.
