No.. that's not right.. radio/modem quality is mostly based of location .. not the device. Now I'm sure a bit come down to the device especially if its running custom roms.. but for the most part its based on your region.

I live in Orlando FL and all the the modems are about the same for me.. I believe if your in a really strong service area like I am it won't matter the radio..

what i was saying is that two people may have the same modem on the same phone, and it may function completely different unless they are using the exact same rom, and connecting the the exact same towers

I like how someone actually hit thanks on your post... :banghead:

But that's not what you said... you said .. in a mostly rude way.. that it was dependent on the device and that's just not true.. while it weighs a little on the result a radio /modem performance is mostly bases on location .. but thank for clarifying that.

Yeah it's both, but usually for large cities, every radio will have similar speeds. I found that the difference is the ping/latency. My sister and i both have the same phone, and ROM, but ping differs based on radio. Example, mine is great with the note radio, while hers is better with uvle1. However, mine on uvle1 isn't that bad either. I think that's what doug was trying to say.

Anyways to op. Just try all the top radios people have reported. Remember to aim for latency over speed.

Great post. I live in central New Jersey and i have the same doubt. I guess it all comes down to try them all... but so far I'm doing great with le1 so I guess I'll just leave it as it is...

Souf Cackalacky representin' and I am running T879UVLG3. Seems to work better than the others for me - in my location anyway...

Try both LE1 and LH1

Long island, NY lh1 def. Is better than lg3 in the battery department, although lg3 gives better speeds, I can live with the small difference.
