This follows on from our recent '
Top Tips for Improving MobileBroadband Performance' article, which suggested a number of D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) solutions for getting more speed and reliability out of a 3G Mobile Broadband connection. Now somebody has found something even simpler, just stick your USB Modem (Dongle) in the middle of a Saucepan!
For the record we have just tried this and while I did not see the same kind of significant jump as shown in the video, there was an improvement in reception of maybe 20%. Sadly I did not witness much of a download speed boost because the local node here is already capacity constrained, though it might help those in low signal areas.
