Improved signal
This improved patchy signal on a standard dongle. Very handy as it doesn't need a connector and also means it can be used on lots of types.
Bargain when you compare the price of the universal connector on it's own.

Works a treat
Very pleased, use it with a T-mobile mobile broadband modem, I live right on the edge of getting a decent signal, download was slow and erratic and often lose the signal completely.
Is spot on now, strong signal, downloads 100 kb/s , up 200 kb/s on a good day.
I do have direct line of site to the T-Mobile transmitter.
Good service from these guys too.

Brilliant
I am able to write this review because thanks to this Antenna I am back online!! Recently moved to a very poor reception area where my mobile broadband would constantly crash and now can stay online for hours - Great. Money well spent and great service.

3G High Gain (9dBi) directional aerial
Used with '3' mobile broadband USB modem in officially 'poor reception area', it gave a dramatic improvement, even when not critically oriented. There is precious little 3 mobile broadband signal at my home location, therefore I don't normally use it (it's really only for use when away in a motorhome). Normally, I can't even get a usable outdoor signal, but with this aerial I'm now getting a reasonably good signal indoors. The 'speedtest.net' speed checker indicated 150mS ping, 520kb download and 100kb upload. That's pretty respectable for mobile broadband anyway outside of a metropolis. Even without properly orienting the deviceI got 400mS ping, 100kb down and 20kb upload speeds. And that's indoors where normally it won't even find sufficient signal to authenticate and connect! Can't wait to measure its improvement when away in a favourable reception area. Recommended.

Yes very good but also Bad
I must say that this does what it says on the tin (3G high gain directional antenna-universal) but alas only if you have a signal to pick up :-in Windsor it increased my signal triple fold, but alas not in Marlow it is hit and miss, depends on the signal.
But the service that I received from Mobilefun is second to none Highly Recomended *****

3G High gain antena
I was very pleased with my purchase of the high gain antena and it has improved my download speeds. Clearly this device is directional and it is important to locate the transmission beacon for your network.
I would recommend this device.

3G High Gain Directional antenna 18963
I live in North Wales and my download speeds on a Vodafone mobile Connect R dongle K3565 rev2 was 7.5 kb/s. I purchased a 3G High gain antenna part No 18963 from Mobilefun and it has increased down load speed to 21.6 kb/s Excellent bit of Kit, easy to install.

No effect at all
I tried this device (with universal Velcro strap coupler) with three different dongles (ZTEMF666, HUAWEI E156, K3565) on two different networks (3 and Vodafone) over a 12 hour period. I used dozens of different locations and always aligned the device with the correct mast. Not once was there ANY noticeable effect. Zilch, zip, nothing. Some reviewers do report an effect - I wonder if they were using the direct cable coupler or perhaps they are being fooled by the normal variability of mobile signals. I do not think MobileFun are in any way to blame, they are buying these from the manufacturers in good faith and the service I have had from them has been good. But honestly, I just don't think these things work. I have returned mine for a refund.

To Improve your signal get one of these.
This antenna will improve your 3G signal once you have established the best location, it is a directional antenna and needs to be directed towards your nearest base station. Try one for yourself.

No improvement
My modem was a vodafhone usb light,before i got the aerial i was getting 2 bars but not always holding a connection.Once i added the antenna it made no difference what so ever,i tried all diff locations etc.So in all a total waste of money.Would not recomend this product to anyone.
