Robsat,
Before you go down this path contact woosh and check on their licence, you will find that the band they have purchased will not support large high gain antennas and there is a heavy fine not to mention that doing so may cause some stability issues on their network.

we are talking the ability to get the signal in a fringe area and do it reliably, ie 99% uptime if we can achieve it, not try and see what level we can shove it up too and keep it working and to hell with the neighbours. There is potential for more work for me in the area when (not IF) I get this to go and this is in Wooshs benefit.
We get -75dbm ( 5 full bars on the detail screen) according to their modem signal strength readings, however accurate they are. (Its just that the local woosh service agent/contractor has squat in the way of wireless experience of any sort at all.)
That is not a lot of signal when you look at margins etc which will become a factor in the SNOW that we get here on accasions.
Also of note that Hills bought in 100 purpose cut dipoles for their grid antennas up to 25 db at 2.4 ghz at Woosh request to evaluate for fringe areas.
It appears to me that fringe areas are not catered for with the system, just put in another site, yeah right like thats gonna happen .
That I can understand as its all cost benefit related and is very unlikely to happen around here.
And PS theres a heap of fun making something go when someone says IT WONT WORK". And you get happy punters who give you more work eh! and thats what its all about.
Thanks for your reply it does shed another view on.
