Has anyone tried a 4G signal booster?

Has anyone tested this with the Nexus?

[YT]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPK5YMhCRyU[/YT] I would love to get 4G everywhere..

No one? I swear the datacenter I work in is a massive faraday cage. I wanna try and cell them on this.. pun intended.

Thanks for this video. I plan to get the booster for my home/office/bunker as 4G is weak though Verizon says the Nexus is in a strong signal area.....

wifi isnt good enough??

If the one they have for your car works, that might be useful, but the home/office solution is a waste. Your calls are not made on 4g and wifi is probably faster for data anyway. I do use Verizon's network extender at home, which gives me 4 bars all through my house (normally have 1 bar), but I think a 4g would be waste.

My work wifi is too restrictive, as are many others', so that isn't a legitimate "answer" for everyone. Mine won't allow access any webmail, dropbox or most streaming media sites, and only http and https ports are allowed. Even using the sites that are available are discouraged unless it is specifically for work purposes. Fortunately, I get a decent signal where I sit, but many of the other rooms in the building are dead zones. No other wifi signals are in range, either.

My Work wifi is on strict security policies and only corporate issued devices can access it so it would be nice at the office where I only get 1 bar on 4G. A block away I get good 3-4 bars. I use wifi at home (also only get 1 bar on 4G) so I really do not need it there. I cant watch video, at work right now. Is there a price or release date mentioned?

Sounds like a great reason to try one if these out. When there released, you guys tell us how well they work.
