I am thinking to upgrade to UMG1831 as my current modem has few issues. However I wouldn't mind going with 7.2 MBPS one. So are there any benefits from UMG1831 over E173 ? Like signal strength or increase in Speed ? And how bad is heat in UMG1831 ? any advantages or disadvantages ? Also any other modems which support both 2G & 3G.TIA 🙂
