hi....
my house currently can only get on 20%++ signal using old huawei e220. Less than 1mbps. i.e. no youtube.
Can anybody recommend  reasonably price usb modem w/external antenna? is E367 is the best? Price range +/-150.

+ shud i use external antenna? which 1 is the best?
Not a heavy downloader, but at least need to be able to get SD quality youtube.
Replies appreciated. Thanks.

I live at rural area . My place can detect 6 maxis tower @ different cell id . Only one tower can hit 2 ~ 3mbps download speed. The rest below 1mbps. For me the problem is with the tower not the modem. Signal RSSI all the same around 95 dBm. Modem is MF600 + yagi. The original maxis modem.

huawei e220 have 2 model old one 3.6 and new model 7.2 mbps. At least u should get 1.5mbps download speed. If u want usb modem with external antenna, get one from zte or sierra. huawei external antenna socket suck.
