• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Also, by "external antennae" do you mean something that goes on the outside of your car or just a USB port extension to get it a few inches away from the CPU? It did come with that.

Also, the worst website to load on it: sprint's. It is horribly slow, but I have not had any problems with others. They may want to fix that!
 
You can get an external antenna with an amplifier to boost your signal in areas where you have say 1 or 2 bars. I bought mine from https://www.maximumsignal.net/store/home.php and have had really good luck with it. You can buy a kit that comes with a magnetic mount antenna that you can stick on your roof that boosts the signal by 5 db.

I purchased a cheaper one last year and actually had better luck with it that the one in the kit.

Your results may vary, but the amplifier with the antenna makes a big difference in my experience. If you create your Sprint account online you'll see that there is place to track your usage. One the main page after you login, there is a link "usage details" that you can click on to see how much you've used. That store manager needs to brush up on the features of their website as he is definitely wrong!
 
I use the ATT air card 5GB Plan, where I live. The last two billing cycles, I have come very close to the 5GB limit. Download a lot of PDF files, it adds up quick. I plan on moving in the near future and cannot wait to get cable internet again.

You can use 15 to 50 gigs and AT&T doesn't care and will not charge you overage fees so don't worry about your usage
