Mobile data boosters, do they work?

Alec76# · 30 Aug 2021 at 08:00

I'm soon to move to a rural area with the inevitable poor mobile data reception. Broadband is available but I don't watch television or need a landline telephone. I've read about boosters (aka repeaters?) but do they work, ie. will they give me 4-5 bars indoors? A search by postcode says O2 are strongest in my area.
Replies appreciated.

Thanks for reply.

Cannot find frequency bands for O2 in my area but another check on O2 coverage of my exact postcode says "not good for mobile broadband" but I now know that broadband is already available at the house. (I think netplus)

I think I'll give them a miss.

Had a look at starlink - "users in South England might get it. However, it is still in the beta phase and early pre-order phase. In the UK, customers have to pay

£89 per month

for the service and £54 for shipping, and £349 for the dish, router, and the entire kit."

Just a tad expensive even if it were available in the NE.
But all knowledge is good.
