Okay, so I finally caved and bought the weBoost Home Complete kit after YEARS of dealing with Verizon's 'we're working on it' lies at our mountain cabin. Spoiler: This thing is magic.

Before install: Literal ZERO bars inside. Couldn't even load emails. Post-install? Suddenly getting 25Mbps downloads like I'm back in the city! The OnTech installer (shoutout to Michael) was a pro - used his own heavy-duty cables and even climbed our TV antenna pole to get perfect alignment.

Pro tip: The app's tower locator is GOLD. Our original install was off by nearly 100 degrees (thanks, hail storm) but fixing the angle boosted signal by 1000%. Science!

Yes, it's pricey ($1,400 hurt), but when your alternative is screaming into a brick wall trying to get cell service, this feels like cheating physics. Just make sure your installer actually cares about positioning - makes ALL the difference.

P.S. Survived Midwest hail storms and 1850s farmhouse walls. If that's not durability, I don't know what is.
