[plug] 4G modem advice

[Gregory Orange]

Looking at TS9 antennas for it, they're cheap online ($4 up to $27 for
3dBi up to 88dBi gain) but I can't find any online at Jaycar,
Altronics, JB Hifi or Freenet Antennas. I'll buy one from eBay that
will hopefully arrive quick enough for me and see how it goes.

The signal from the place in question is good enough on my phone so I figure it'll be fine, but I'd rather not just take a punt with someone else's money if I can test first (:
