All the consumer network sold mobile booster kit also used broadband to connect back to the mobile provider. Just instead of WiFi signal they broadcast a 3G one. So you still have the same dependency.

Even if they still worked, as 3G is being switched off soon anyways so they'd have to be withdrawn.
