Upgrade 3,6 to 7,2 Huawei Modem E 220

Saturday, April 30, 2011
I've just got my mits on the latest firmware for the Vodafone Huawei E220. This update upgrades the modem to download at speeds up to 7.2Mbps - compared to the standard 3.6Mbps. I've just installed it and run a speed test in a 7.2Mbps area and I'm getting average speeds of around 2.5Mbps, peaking at 4.3Mbps (see the NetPerSec screenshot). The lack of receive diversity on the device will prevent it from hitting speeds much higher than this.  The usual disclaimers apply here - if you want to install the update do so at your own risk.
