Numerous users of 3G USB modems are not satisfied with the speed of Internet access. Various factors affect speed, right up to your location.
In most cases, the reason for the slow internet speed is your data plan. Most tariff plans have a limit on the amount of information transferred. When this volume is reached, the provider forcibly limits the speed of your Internet connection. This condition is specified in the contract for the provision of communication services, but not one telecom operator pays attention to this. The way out is to pay extra to the provider for an additional amount of information or monitor the volume of transmitted traffic.
Also, your location affects the speed of the Internet for 3G modems. Building density and terrain can have a detrimental effect on the quality of the received signal. As a result, there are dips in speed.
The lack of equipment for 3G networks at the base station also negatively affects the speed of the Internet. After all, the best speed is achieved precisely in a network with HSDPA support, and without 3G this is impossible. Check with your service provider for the coverage area of 3G networks.
Alternatively, try changing your location; you can also try connecting an external antenna (some modems have a special connector for this) to amplify the signal. A certain position of the antenna can achieve good results.
The workload of a carrier's base station can also affect speed. When using a modem from the time of day and schedule the network during the least busy time.
