    This is awesome! I need to get my dad to use one like this, his signal is terrible at his house!

    Unfortunately, those come with a very steep price tag

    Oh wow! That's strainer trick is great. I'm certainly going to remember that one xD

    Just an update: I tried the strainer trick last night with my 8ta sim. The signal went from 0/5 bars to 3/5... which averages as a 2-5 meg line... I'm still in shock

    I could even play ME3 multiplayer last night with no lag

    Glad it worked Ill let you know if i come across anything else since im always messing around with my 3G

    Idea i want to actually try but dont think it will work for me (since im already nearly at max signal), if you can try this dee.

    Take the strainer cover it with foil (but u still got the hole for the usb), technically that should take all the signal that is actually going through the strainer and bounce it to the 3G
