Anyone ever used a gsm signal repeater to boost data speeds in an area with not so good signal strength. Any recommendations?

Just had my signal repeater fixed. Was getting EDGE before. Now am on stable 3G in my house.

Interesting

@Tupac.How is your experience so far ?
Are your downloads /browsing the best that the 3G can offer?

Not at all. But I get better speeds than EDGE could offer before. This depends on the Signal outside. The external aerial picks the signal and this is amplified. Whereas I could only get unstable EDGE before, I can now comfortably get speeds of up to 1.9mbps. That's not bad compared to the headache I had on network access before. The amplifier is only meant for poor signals.

Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you
You can get the BIG box from any Safaricom Shop in Nairobi for Ksh 4,999 with 3GB of FREE internet.
However the 6GB at 1K is gone and now what is available is 5GB at Ksh. 1199 as usual ripping of Kenyans.At least i have enjoyed the 6GB per month for the last 5 months .

Uongo mingi,I laughed when i saw this on the Safaricom BIGbox page

Can I remove my sim card from my Bigbox?
theBIGBox SIM card comes preinstalled in theBIGbox and hence cannot be removed.(Yes you can, you own the box just remove the seal and pluck out the sim card )
Ati preinstalled by who an ,aliens ???? It's a human who installed and hence a human with the will to remove it can do it.
Safaricom only sold 1500 boxes Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Overwhelming is what they said it was ,should have been disappointing /failure ?????

It will not be successful. Bundles for domestic/office use are useless.
