How to improve your wireless experience

The cheapest quality modem with external antenna connector is from MTN: Huawei E352 14.4Mbps.
Pigtail SMA (most popular antenna connector) to CRC9 (modem connector) around R70 from Otto Marketting.

Man, thanks for this info. I bought the stuff on ebay, parcel never arrived and could not find someone who is selling it in SA - Prices also good.
 
I have just upgraded my handset to a S4 LTE. I'm on MTN and I looked at the LTE coverage map for my area, which misses my house by about 300 metres! Is there a way that I could install a directional antenna on to my phone so that I could receive LTE speed? Is it worth the trouble!?
 
One thing not mentioned is the effect of thatch. Living in a rural area I have a dedicated Poynting data antenna up in the roof of my thatched home, pointing directly with line-of-sight to the tower -- but through a fairly thick thatched roof built on wooden poles. What influence if any does the thatch have on signal?
Have you drawn any conclusions about signal through thatch?
