Rain Antenna

So I've tried ponting my Antenna in multiple direction, it's mounted quite high, but still blocked by buildings. Only 1-2 bars of signal, and speeds of about 20mbps

20 Mbps is pretty good. I get that most evenings when I'm at home, though at non-congested times I've gone up to 50 Mbps. Even with one LED lit up on the router.

I've literally achieved 107mbps with Rain on my phone while in Mowbray. So I'm a bit speed thirsty :)

Woah. I have no idea how that's possible, I thought Rain limited their throughputs to about 50 Mbps. I've seen those speeds on the other networks' LTE-A though.

I uploaded the speedtest under the Post your speedtests thread :)
 
As one of the founding members and GM of Otto Wireless, it really pleases me to read positive comments about Otto. Yes, we are a "legit" company, based in Randburg, Gauteng. Aside from importing and retailing industrial routers and related products like antennas, we also have a production line and assemble / manufacture / test our own RF cables here in Randburg. For those who don't know us, we are in our 8th year of trading now, and have been growing steadily over the years, and for that we sincerely thank each and every one of you who have purchased from us over the years. There is no such thing as a "small sale", so whether you have bought 100 antennas from us, or one small connector, we are sincerely thankful for your support.
With regard to this particular thread, the antenna which was mentioned is really good, and we actually decided to brand it with our own company name. We would not do this if we did not believe in the product. So I invite you all to take a look at the product, the first in a series of products which we are in the process of launching (more models of other high-performance LTE antennas and WiFi antennas should actually be arriving today) and also invite you to take a look at the short video we made, and which is on my youtube channel. Aside from giving you a bit of info about the product, you will see at a glance that we are indeed a legit, ISO 9001 company, who are here to stay, and who are committed to bringing quality affordable products to the market. We know who we are competing against.... and yes, we know we are are cheaper, but please test the products before assuming that cheaper means inferior quality.
And yes, we also retail the TS-9 adapters too.
You will soon see our range of high-end antennas, aptly called "Ottennas" sold through distribution channels as well, as we are in the process of appointing distributors. This means that in all major cities, if you prefer to do so, you will soon be able to walk into a distributor, look at the products, and purchase them there and then.
We are honestly passionate about service, and we stand by our products. We know that there are sometimes exceptional circumstances where antennas just really don't help, because there are unfortunately some serious "dead spots" out there, but otherwise we know our products are reliable and we take customer satisfaction seriously. if you are not satisfied, talk to us, or to the distributor you have purchased from, and we will do whatever we can to sort out your needs. If you still get no joy, my email address is [email protected], my Skype is christopher.viveiros.... my door is open, talk to me and I will personally attend to you. If you do send me a skype invitation, I just ask that in the body of the original request, please introduce yourself briefly, just so I know it is a genuine requiest and not some Skype-bot.

Thanks again for your support and positive comments. We are 100% committed to being the leaders in this market, which will only happen with the support of lots and lots of individuals. Don't forget to search for and like us on Facebook as well, we are quite active there.

have you guys tested these "china / japan" antenna's ? do they improve your signal ?

I watched many posts and youtube clips, of ppl buying these 20dolla 35dbi and 88dbi antenna's. Then it doesn't improve anything.
They open these antenna's up and it's thin wires connected to copper plates. Vs real antenna's would be copper or other metal shaped like an number 8 with sharp edges.
