    I am addicted

    Sadly I live in a cul-de-sac with room on my drive for 2 bigger vehicles (Defender & Camper) and my neighbours already complain about the 4 vehicles we have without me adding another.

    Cellphone boosters

    We have a Huawei E5577 Portable Mobile Wifi Hotspot which can take an external antenna. This we have used in multiple countries just changing the Sim as required. In most instances this alone without an external antenna has operated better than our phones. However I did look at external...
