You can do better than that. Some time ago I was on a mountain summit above Queenstown. I could pick up signals from the city down in the valley, including an hotspot cafe which I used a few hours before. Line of sight was over 2 Km. This was with the 770, BTW.

I could not get a connection, of course.
