It was 4G but a friend used one of the boosters with a directional antenna and it worked well. The use case was a little different. His mother lived down the block and was using WiFi to connect to his DSL. I thought about getting one but the new towers give me good enough service. That's Verizon. My actual phone is on T-Mobile and I do have some dead spots but not enough to be annoying. Around here there are pullouts with homemade signs saying 'cellphone pullout'. These aren't the official spots along some of the highways for safety reasons; they're the sweet spots where you can get a few bars.
