I use the Wilson Sleek and got the window mount suction cup mount and a taller antenna. I put the antenna on the inside of the window. Place the phone or wi-fi hotspot on the Wilson Sleek. Worked for me all over the US. If I get a weak signal I can boost it enough to make calls and get online. Is it real fast? No. But works for me and price is reasonable. I ordered mine from Walmart.com
In most situations there is absolutely no relationship between the speed of your connection and the strength of the signal. Amplifying a signal doesn't "make it faster". The only way a cellular booster can provide additional speed is in those situations in which a 4G signal might be too weak to reliably connect to so the phone would go to 3G without an amplifier. But in normal use, the amplifier simply provides a stronger more stable signal. So if your Wilson Sleek works for you, the chances are that a more expensive amplifier would not produce any better result.
