I'm going to purchase a Dual Band Booster/Repeater for my basement.

Hello everyone i'm new here, I live in Kitchener, Ontario, and i live near the Breslau Airport.   So i'm in the valley below chickenpee ski hill and as soon as i come into the valley where my house is, my signal goes from Full to 1 bar.  Plus I also spend most of the time in my man cave in the basement, which makes it even worse.

My questions so far are, what two bands are the most dominate in a city?  i mean dont get me wrong the CF Fairview Mall isnt that far and I could probably walk there.  So its not like i'm in the boonies. But I a friend of mine can get me a real good deal through his company for a a Booster/Repeater, but unfortunately, they are only dual band, What bands should i be buying ?  I was thinking a B4 and B5  ?   But I dont know what bands would be best to get.  Any input would be greatly appreciated before I make a purchase next week.

Thanks for your help in advance.

@Croatian_Cowboy , use this cell tower map to locate the nearest towers and the bands available from the towers.

If you are using an android phone, install this app and check which bands you typically connect on at home.  This should help you decide on what booster to get.
