Painfully slow internet
Campground WiFi is snail slow with over a minute to load pages. Anyway to speed it up?

Some of you that are speaking techie are being helpful but a little over my head. My phone has unlimited but not hot spot. Is Webboost a standalone system or are there other pieces of the puzzle?
WeBoost takes an existing cell phone signal and makes it stronger. A one bar signal may go up to three bars. Three may go to four. It will not create a cell phone signal if nothing is there to begin with. A zero signal area is still a zero signal with a booster.
That still only creates a stronger cell phone signal. You then must convert the cell phone signal into a wifi signal. A Verizon Jet Pack does it. Most other carriers offer similar. Many smart phones have one built in (tether, wifi, hotspot -- different phones call it different). A dedicated jet pack is usually faster, though.
If you go this route you are using your cell phone plan data or minutes. If you have unlimited then all is good. If you have a cap you have to keep an eye on your data usage.
