cell phone booster

Before they put the new Verizon tower on the east side of Alton Bay, above the Echo Point area, our cell coverage at our house was poor.
I borrowed a friend's Verizon range extender. The paperwork says coverage is about 5,000 sq ft. That sounded like the answer to our prayers. Until I started using it.
That 5,000 sq ft sounded like a lot until I realized we are talking about a circle that is centered on the extender's antenna. What that works out to is a 40 ft radius. I was losing coverage over by our garage or out near the street. For us, it wasn't worth buying our own.
Fortunately, the new antenna had made it a moot point.
