I knew Broadcom were the work of the devil, but I thought Intel was meant
to be OK.

I tried a USB antenna borrowed from a Pi (LB-Link thing that's reported as
"Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter").
It'll only connect to 2.4Ghz but is 11n and it reports ~19Mbits/sec just
like the internal card and the phone for the 2.4Ghz network.
The antenna is claimed to deliver 150Mbps:
