Quick Tip

Use a good quality coaxial splitter to get better signal for your modem and TV Images :)

Regal splitter given by default is a decent one

Hope it helps.

3.75G modem - HuaWei E270

It sure been awhile, abit busy with school's related matters and other misc stuff(and actually is also because I lacked new toy, LOL)

I am now back with the HuaWei E270 in impression.

Huawei E270 3.75G modem

I believe model is abit smaller compared to the E220 from M1 and SingTel, depending on how you see it.

Tied to MaxMobile Unlimited, the speed I got downloading was a constant 400 kilobyte per second. Making it roughly 3.2Mbps. Not bad a speed, with HSPA as reported by the Starhub branded software utility.

However, it is strange why Huawei bundled 2 USB cable. Shown in the picture, the one with 2 USB connector, one of it has a label reading Assistant power. Using that, you will get access to its flash memory to install the software and drivers.
On the other hand, the shorter usb cable is redundant and useless, it does not work all. You cant access the driver/setup files, nor after installed, it allow you to connect at all.

For those of you with problematic USB controller issues, do be careful.
