I have a 2MB modem... In my previous house I was able to get full speed all the time, I moved to a new house and the signal ain't that great... I get about 120KBps download.

Which antenna should I go for? Flat Panel, or Omni?

Flat panel will get better signal if you have LOS to the tower.
 
Awesome stuff...

I suppose both antennae needs LOS, but at least I can overcome the constant jumping with flat panel as I am smack bang in the middle of two towers.

I don't think I got LOS though

I don't think it's an absolute requirement. I have an omni on my roof, but getting much better results with a flat panel cable tied to burglar bars in a window. My problem is the omni prefers a heavily loaded base station on top of a tall block of flats.
