Different frequencies = different technologies. 1800Mhz is 2G (and in some areas, 4G) 2100Mhz is 3G.

How far is too far depends on the actual (not licensed) power and where it's pointing, and more importantly on the number of buildings/walls in between. In clear line of sight these things reach hundreds of miles but in the city will be stopped dead by anything more than a couple metres of concrete or brick (e.g. 4-8 walls depending on thickness).

If the signal has to go through (not over or around) any more than 3 or 4 rows of houses then you're looking for truoble.
