3G Wireless Broadband signals

Howdi folks.

I was wondering if anyone has any "home remedies" for signal boosting, in particular a 3G wireless broadband modem/dongle.

I have just moved into Halls of Residence, and unfortunatley, a broadband connection isnt available!? So my flatmates and I have all signed up to 3's 3G mobile broadband service. We were furnished with the shiny wireless modem/dongle required and all the usual stuff.

I havent had any problems with signal, its pretty steady signal and moderate strength. Literally 6 meters and a thin wall away, my neighbour cant get a signal what-so-ever. He has tried hanging the dongle out of his window, wrapping it around his telephone line (inside!) and all sorts, but to no avail.

I was wondering if anyone has any nifty tricks or ideas for boosting his signal?

Any help is appreciated as always

JB
