I9100T modem for india

Hi,

I have a I9100T from Australia which was on Telstra network. I have gotten this to India and currently on the Airtel network. I have I9100T specific modem (DVLS3). My question is the following.
Can I use it as is in India or is it advisable to change the modem to be India specific. It has been working fine till now. The place where i am living has some places where i have very poor signal. Will this get better if I change to India specific modem.
I am on Omnirom and have Gustavo kernel. There has been some murmurs in the thread about baseband problems. I need to verify the same, if it is kernel specific. Anyways inputs from all you people would be very helpful so that I can get the best possible out of my phone and connection. I will be around here for some period to come and hence this query. Thanks in advance for all the help. Cheers.

use bbs to see if you're facing any baseband drain .. if not i dont think you have much to worry about
also check to see if others are getting better reception where you arent (same service provider).. if so only then look into a different modem..
otherwise there is no need to do anything

just for the sake of it you could flash one of the modems to see the difference (it'd take about 2 days to really settle though)

Modem: DDLS9
Provider: Reliance
Region: Mumbai (Thane)
Rom: Linaro/Sabermod CM11 with Gustavo_s's kernel
Speeds: Screenies attached!
Modem Feedback: This is my initial feedback, I'll update this post if I face heating or any other issues. The differences are pretty clear though. I was on XXMS4 for a long long time. Reception slash connectivity is damn good (much better) on DDLS9 compared to XXMS4. I have full signal in places where signal would drop down to 1 bar at times on XXMS4, call quality is good too on DDLS9 (suffered from dropped calls on XXMS4).
:fingers-crossed: no heating issues :fingers-crossed:
