For three months in the summer I stay in an RV at a campsite in the mountains. While there I need to be able to use the internet for my business. The only option I have is to go with AT&T 3G mobile broadband. However when I tried this last year I only got a very weak signal, and extremely slow connection speed. I recently read about antennas that can boost the signal and I was wondering if this might work for me. I read that for some situations the antenna can really help, but in other situations it doesn't help at all.

I am able to get a weak signal on my cell phone when I am in my RV, but if I go outside and move away in the right direction I am able to get a stronger and stronger signal. Right now I am planning on getting an omni directional external RV antenna. I have no idea where the closest cell tower is so I don't think I could use a directional antenna.

So the question is, will I get a stronger signal and faster speed with an antenna, and if so what type of antenna should I get? If an antenna won't work is there anything else I can do to get a better signal and connection?
