O2 modem

Hi, can someone tell me the difference between the Huawei E1752 and the Sierra Wireless USB 302 offered by O2, re the download and upload speeds or anything else that I should know. Their website doesn't give enough information. I should add I'm not a techie.

It largely won't make any difference. The higher upload speeds you get with HSUPA is not available in many locations.

to follow on from jor_el, not so much speed.

The only real diff would be the build quality of the modems. Like comparing a Fiat (e1752) to a Ford (302).

I have found that the Sierra modem has had a lot less issues than the Huawei one.
