By default, Huawei E220 can only support up to 3.6Mbps speed. In Malaysia, 3.6Mbps is the top speed that 3.5G broadband users can get. But the truth is, it is just a fantasy. No one will get that speed.
By default, Huawei E220 only can handles 3.6Mbps connection
I even asked Celcom technician to do speedtest at place. Do you want to know how much speed that he got? Only 1.2Mbps. And the test was done in the morning (at low peak time). And when I asked why he only got 1.2Mbps and not 3.6Mbps or even 2Mbps? Here is what he replied,
“This is because our server can’t support so many users. If there are many users use the Internet at one time, the slowness will happen.”
Duh…what a very frustrating answer. Why don’t you guys (Celcom) use our money to upgrade the server? It is better than hearing our complaints every minutes and seconds.
But this “hack” can make it to 7.2Mbps
Ok, back to the article. How you can “hack” your Huawei E220 USB modem to make it supports up to 7.2Mbps speed? By default, Huawei E220 will only can operates at 3.6Mbps. But by doing this “hack” you can make it to operate at 7.2Mbps.
Before we can proceed to “hack” our Huawei E220 usb modem, I must give some advices first. Please don’t do this “hack” if,
- your device is still under contract or warranty
- you don’t want to get into troubles if something goes wrong
- you don’t want to make your Huawei E220 supports 7.2Mbps speed
Disclaimer: I will not responsible on anything you do or happen to your Huawei E220 USB Modem.
Now, to do the “hack” is really simple. First what you need to do is to backup all files in the Huawei E220 USB modem to your computer. I forgot to copy the files and I have lost everything. So my advice, make a backup all the files into your computer hard drive. DON’T do the same mistake like I did.
Now go to Mobile Connected website and download firmware 11.117.09.00.00. The download link is at the end of the article. Download it and run the update file. Follow the screen and make sure to tick “Forced Download”.
The download process will take awhile and you will see the green light blinking rapidly. Once the “hack” is done, you will see your connection is able to support up to 7.2Mbps like the image I put in this article.
Again, in Malaysia, we are provided with 3.6Mbps only. This 7.2Mbps is only available in UK, US and other first and second world countries. So, even though you do this “hack”, it doesn’t mean you will get faster broadband connection.
Update the Dashboard
But if you want to upgrade the dashboard application (Mobile Connect), you can do so by downloading the update from Huawei download page. Choose the latest version (the latest date it get published). After the download is finished, open the archive and run the file.
Mobile Partner in action
This new version is using Huawei Partner and not Mobile Connect anymore. I don’t know why they choose Mobile Parner. For me, Mobile Connect is much easier to use and give more statistics details. Or maybe they decided to use Mobile Partner because it is faster to locate what services available around you. That is the only improvement I see after the “hack” is done.
But if you found other improvements in this latest firmware, please drop it into the comment form below. So I can check from my end too.
Edit: Here is the screenshot taken while I was downloading files using Internet Download Manager.

I am from Bintulu, Sarawak with 7.2Mbps Maxis broadband and under 6 months contract. Here, my average download speed is between 300 to 450 Kb/s (provided that it does not exceed download limit). But when I was in subang, my speed was at a freaking 700Kb/s plus (which is about 7.2Mbps). I download a 175Mb file in less than 5 minute. Obviously, your area is a factor to your download speed.
Hmmm…. ak punya limit 1GB s ekejapje dah sampai limit mereka send sms kat ak add RM12.88 +1GB, RM38.88 +5GB.. adakah harga ini mahal? sure pokai
–mrk limit connection teruk la…. sampai i cannot loading, nak cari bahan for assignment pun x leh.. i kena tipu cakap unlimited..ZZzzz
cel.com….unlimited tu celcom nak ko byar tambah pakej (quato) tu yg unlimited tu hik3…biasalah malaysia punya line semua nak mahal…line smpai host server dan payment method utk e-commence mahal giler pastu server slow….

aku guna maxis broadband prepaid starter kit pnya . .first time guna mmg laju giler! aku guna bandwidth sampai abes . . . then internet jd slow . .network yg ada cuma HSDPA . aku guna punya guna pas tu tetiba lak tinggal GPRS . . aku pnye xpuas hati aku godek2 maxis directory lam windows . . tetiba je kat network connection indicate speed aku 7.2Mbps . . . sebelum ni slow macam %^$*&*#!!!!! [tak payah download firmware apa2 pun…….]hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
xsangka connection laju [ok la walaupun dalam mode HSDPA] but it’s better than before . . . [sebelum ni tunjuk je HSDPA tapi cam taik]
ini tidak akan berpengaruh kalau broadband anda me-limit koneksi anda dibawah 7.2Mbps 🙂
ex: modem speed 3.6Mbps, but your network operator only give you 1.2 Mbps. in this condition yours modem up to 7.2 but your network connections max only 1.2 🙂

hello Im from chile south america and I have a huawei E172 is there any way to increase the speed of it?
i have got this modem about 1 month ago and after i’m “godek2” your blog post i have found this useful post and thank you very much, now my speed is double..
we use hack good or not
bro, can’t download it? error 404 -_-
If your internet service provider only gives downstream at about 384 Kbps .. then this trick has no point at all and useless. No matter what trick you do with the modem, your internet speed will be max only on 384 Kbps.
Can you please tell me how to increase the speed of my HUAWEI EC121 1X CDMA from 156kbps to atleast 256kbps. My ISP is Tata (Tata Photon Whiz), or can it be unlocked for such speeds with other ISPs.
please mail me mail.me1729@gmail.com
i need all hellp from you b idont know any thing
