Another update: All the other modems listed in the OP give me 0 or 1 bars of standard reception and 3g/H if I'm lucky in certain areas of my house. On 3UK Modded modem I'm getting 1 to 2 bars reception and 3g/H no matter where I am in the house...once again, super thanks for uploading this modem!! <3!

Nekf2 "three uk" now in Leomar kitchen.

I'm glad I could help guys... I wasn't expecting that this modem would kick ass on different networks...

I never got H+ before using this modem, now I have it almost everywhere...

EDIT: when samsung officially release KI3 firmware, 3uk might release it to their customers too, and might as well release it with KI3 modified modem, if this happens, I will post here...

Anyone know if these modems are compatible with MIUI & CM7?

EDIT: nvm, found this.

KI3 seems to had better network for me than KI1! In our sportshome with KI3 I get network! With KI1 network will be lost!

I'm on T-Mobile UK.

Thank you for providing the list of modems. I picked out a few of the more popular ones and started flashing away. I know it can be such a pain to go through testing but really all I care about is internet speed. My simple logic is that the faster or more consistent data speeds are, the better signal/reception should be. Hopefully, I'm not too far wrong.

Anyway, after reading about 3's special modem from testando, it led me to the fact that actually stock modem is the best for me. I've attached it to this post as a CWM flashable modem.

All I did was to flash each modem in turn - and sat in the same spot whilst running the speedtest.net app to measure speeds. I ran the test maybe about 5 times or more and eventually it'd even out and give you some indication which one is better in terms of data speeds.

I'm on stock KI3 (Wanam's Build).

I tested KI3, KI1, KH3, KG5, KG2, NEKF2 and of course stock BOKG1.

Some interesting notes:

NEKF2, the signal/reception strength seems to stronger than all the others - where I was sitting I cannot usually receive more than 2 bars but with this modem I was sitting 95% of the time on 3 bars. The data speeds were consistent but I only managed about 800Kbp/s after a few runs.

The results for KG2 were also very good - I got the maximum allowable rate of around 1,900Kbp/s with upload speeds of 375kbp/s. This was with two bars of reception only (using H+).

The other modems were all shockingly bad - data speeds would just lag around 300 to 500kbp/s. Sometimes it would hang and just not complete the test at all. It was very easy to see the difference in performance after just a few runs.

I hope that this might help anyone else also on the T-Mobile UK network.

Guys, which modem is best for Orange UK? All the talk is for 3 network and the NEKF2. Anyone have any pearls of wisdom for an old, broken down bum on Orange UK? Currently on kh3 and it's ok but I feel it could be better. In my house I get 3g/H 60% of the time and 2g all other times. Running Leomar v2.6

Would the KF2 "3 modded" modem be any good on Orange network?

Lots of people have tested the 3 modded modem and reported awesome results...

My advice for you: try it... It's easy, fast and secure, worst case scenario would be to reflash another modem...

Try the modded modem first, it seems to be getting good results across UK with different operators...

I would advise you to try stock modem as well... By flashing stock ROM through Kies... As Orange UK could have modified it...

Takes less than 1 minute to flash each modem...

I said that KG2 was 'also very good'. In my tests, I noted that it got around the same speeds as BOKG1, but seemed less consistent which is why I went for BOKG1. I have noticed in another post that there is a a KG3 modem floating around. I haven't tried it just yet but if you happen to be experimenting, your feedback here on which modem you find best for you would also be appreciated.

In my specific case, modded three modem was absolutely horrible.

Sitting on the VODAFONE Spanish network.
Just info if it can be useful to someone else.
Kg5 works ossom.

Tried flashing again? Maybe you had a bad download...

If you had poor reception its acceptable, but no signal at all, something must have gone wrong

Hello Man
Do you think that the KI1 modem (contained on stock KI4 rom) is better than KI3 modem?
I found contrastant opinions on italian's theads..i would find the thruth! ;-)
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm in tmob uk and the phone came with kg2 and was awful. Tried a few others some good and some bad but the best so far is bokg1. It's the only one I can get reliable H signal in my work building with. 2nd best was modded 3uk one but this bokg1 is awesome.
