    I live in a weak signal area. Our main broadband is from a USB dongle on top of a shed.

    Neighbour just told me he got a signal booster from a mate.

    Should I be worried? I'm at about 35% signal on Meteor at the moment.

    Has anyone any experience with knock on effects etc?

    Could you also acquire a booster? How would one acquire such a booster? Im on 3 and the signal is terrible these days?

    See if it changes. If things stay stable, fine, if they go downhill give comreg a call and have them legally spanked.
