Hi,

Anybody out there using a vodaphone femtocell to improve reception
within their home etc.

Vodaphone suggested I try one of these to improve the very poor
reception around my home. However my bandwidth cap is rather low
at 2G a month and I was wondering how much bandwidth the femtocell
requires when:-

Phone is in use making calls

Phone is idle around the house

Phone is off or well away from the house

Regards Ferg

Get over to DealExtreme and buy a home mobile repeater system.
One aerial outside, one in the house. Two way boost for your mobile.
Or you could make your own passive repeater with nothing more than
two aerials and coax.


I had been thinking about just such a thing. I happen to know
the reception is fine when standing on my roof. I live in a bit
of a dip as far as my local ( < 1mile) mast is concerned, however
I recently turned on cell boadcast and discovered that the phone
is actually using a mast over 12 miles way. Lots of trees around my
house as well.

Since the police state will lock me up if I buy a repeater, are
you able to explain further about the other passive option.
