User ID: 44881304 United States 01/24/2016 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What are those tiny dishes On some rural residences? I'm not talking about Dish Network or other sattalite TV, I'm talking about a tiny dish about 12" in diameter they point parralel to the earth, not up. They are on towers that extend 6-10 feet above the roof. There are quite a few out in the country where I'm building. They are all pointing the same direction... |

Could they be snagging internet from a cellphone tower? I notice on my ipad even thought its a rural area there is a 4GLTE signal that's REALLY strong and very fast, faster than in the nearby large city of 700,000 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53212414 No, they are much smaller than those. And they are not pointing up at the sky to get a sattalite signal. They aer all pointing straight out, and all pointing the same direction. |

Some are for real crappy internet service in rural areas.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70704557 If it's getting that 4G signal I was talking about, it's not so crappy. |
