Really depends on your region to be honest. Preferably use the same modem as the UK ROM (LPQ) but then again, your phone might react better with other modems. For example, I tried LPQ and got horrible data speeds (300-400k/sec). Switched to LP7, I effectively doubled the speeds I had on gingerbread (4500k/sec)
So test them out.. And see which one reacts best for you!

Hey guys once the AT&T GSII is released will we be able to use that modem for our international GSIIs? And do you guys think it will result in better signal/better speeds? Thanks - currently on KG6 modem which seems to be the best for AT&T (KH3 sucks!)

Hey what's your HSUPA speeds comparing the KG6 vs KH3 modem?
Depends on area mostly, but I get like 4mbs on KG6 (which sucks) and like 1mbs or less on KH3

I wanted to bring this thread to attention again. Anyone have this available?
It will be hard to say until you have a modem from the AT&T version and test it. It can't hurt to test, but the Captivate's modem wasn't interchangable with the I9000, so it's hard to say.
Hi.
Where can I find a CWM flashable file for I9100 for Optus Australia?
I'm currently wih XXKH3 and my data connection is real slow and the reception sucks compared to an iphone.
Thanks.

How about searching around a bit.
The Australian thread has heaps of info about modems.
I can tell you that KI3 and KL1 have preformed best for me on Optus using I9100.

All good.
I've found that Google search finds me links better than XDAs search so I can understand where you're coming from.

it very much depends on the reception and the coverage, especially in countries like Australia.
i've tried several but there has been no findings.
the best way for you i believe is switching into Telstra
Why telstra?
And I'm in sydney bondi junction

What the he'll are you talking about!?
We were talking about searching xda for answers and links.
My Optus coverage has been awesome and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to Telstra.

It's pretty common knowledge that Telstra have by far the best network in Australia.
Coverage and speed easily out do the alternatives.

It's true though. On average, you're going to get better coverage and data speeds on Telstra than Optus.
Simple reason is that have a better established mobile infrastructure with more mobile towers than any of the competitors.
I was on Optus last year and during peak times (lunch time or after 5pm) it was almost impossible to get a decent internet connection. I couldn't even browse the web. After switching to Telstra, I've had no troubles whatsoever. Even on the train ride home I've got constant coverage and fast data speeds. I watch youtube a lot on the way home and it's never once cut out.
The reason i asked about optus modem firmware is because my internet is crawling to the point it gets disconnected everytime. I'm currently with XXKL1 modem but i see no difference with the speed. I get 1Mb with speedtest.net on average while I used to get between 5 to 7 Mb in Israel with Orange and same phone.

Actually Telstra hits HSDPA+ Vodafone hits HSDPA, while Optus barely hits 3g so yeah just saying. Just use Intratech's post and find one that matches

Optus for me gets H always and a few times H+ and I'm in a rural area not Sydney CBD.
Totally depends on what area etc as to what you get with what carrier. I moved to Optus from Telstra because of better reception in my area.
Some time ago I couldn't get reception with Vodafone but when I went into the outback Vodafone was the best because they spent a fortune on their network to service outback hiways.
Really kl1 should be good on the I9100 but if you have I9100T your better off with one of the modems that came out with that model. All that info is in the modem and aussie threads.

It's pretty common knowledge that Telstra are by far the biggest rip off I've seen anywhere, let alone Australia.
I'll continue to enjoy paying 1/4 of the minimum plan for Telstra, while getting full bars in my house - all while I happen to be in 'another' Telstra blackspot (My parents and friends have no reception anywhere in my house).
They're a joke - if I want 3g connectivity I go for Optus (because of the price difference), when I recently lived in the city I went for 4g Vodafone, all with great coverage/downloads and all far cheaper than the 'alternative'.
Either way, I'm really confused why you posted that when the original post was simply asking for a I9100 modem for a phone on the Optus network...
I'm even more confused as to why you necroed a >2 yr old thread to make a point that's purely subjective/a matter of opinion & a case of YMMV
Is it just me or is anyone else in the UK on ki3 having crap download speeds? (30kb/s dl, ul: 1.5mb/s) I'll flash ki4 tomorrow but I'm still curios, cheers.

your network might have issues.
when i was in UK last week i was getting 1mbps and more download speed on Three Network
now i am in Pakistan i get about 200 to 300 kbps on Telenor network.
try turning off your fast dormancy by *#9900# then reboot
Try kl1 modem it is newest so it might be better
KL1 is the best for me in UK.. got 7.20mbps with vodafone UK

What's your experiences with modems in the UK? I'm on Vodafone and not getting great reception and more often than not stuck on 2G which kinda sucks.
Any advice?
I'm on Omega ROM and just flashed LF5 which has probably been the worst modem of the lot.
Thanks

this says more about voda's 3g coverage to be honest, i havenever had good 3g coverage on voda, then again i have never had what i call good 3g on any phone i have had. Things may improve now the are partnering with 02, network coverage will be doubled in some areas.
I've currently got DXLEA modem. It's nothing special, I get OK signal but hardly ever get above G in terms of network speed
Was fine in my Galaxy S, seems to have gone downhill since I got the S3. I also got it replaced because of pink tint, but the network speed was the same on both handsets
Nele4 that what I'm using on o2 signal is rubbish on the s3 vs s2

Good afternoon xda members I was wonder if any of you have had this problem with with your Samsung GS3 Unlocked Int'l. I bought one off of Amazon and the phone works fine (popped in my sim can get phone calls and all that). The only problem is I can't get 3g/HSPA+ on the handset. The best that I've gotten is EDGE. I am with Cincinnati Bell Wireless and have already put in the appropriate apn settings into the phone. If there is anyone out there with this similar problem whether you are on Cincinnati Bell or any other GSM carrier feel free to shoot any suggestions.
