HI all
Anyone tried the EE supplied external directional antenna? Do we know the manufacturer and model? I've found what could be either the OEM or copy on eBay:

Would be interested in why they chose a directional over fully omni, are they assuming line of sight in all cases and trees don't grow anymore?
I'd love to compare this to my omni....I can feel the credit card flexing...
Heya, I have that antenna, it was the first I got last year when trying to go with 4G home internet after finding out about it,
I live in a emerency calls only zone from all 4 providers
I start to get 1bar of signal when walking 15-20minutes in ether direction from my house
With this antenna I get 1bar of signal with a usable connection
I switched recently from 3 to EE after a good offer was shared on here from the wee bear for a scancom prepaid longterm unlimited data sim
speeds with 3 was 22Mbps avg down with highest peaks in my area to 40-50Mbps
with EE speeds avg 35-50Mbps down with highest peaks of 135Mbps
upload with both is about the same 2-3Mbps avg with 3 being higher at 5-7Mbps up
I recently shared in the testing EE section a test I did with both my Iskra lpda p60 antennas and the panorama antennas panel antenna
The iskra's were getting me 60somthing down and 2-3up
and the panel was geting 50something down and 1-2up
I suspect if you already have a weak usable signal for calls the panel will do a great job
If your in a similar location to me were on the phone you have no signal at all
You'd be better off with the Iskra lpda p60 antenna or another similar stronger antenna vs the panel
But like I said the panel was the first I got and it gave me a usable connection in a no signal area, And I still have it just in case EE ever does a 4x4 upgrade to the tower in my area.
