I have a Huawei E5220 with a 3 sim. The problem I have is the 3 mast is a good distance away and I just about get a connection by hanging the modem out an upstairs window.

There is an O2 mast a couple of hundred metres away from the front of my house that I have used for Tesco Mobile in the past with decent speeds. I have tried connecting to O2 3G with the 3 sim and while I get a good signal I am unable to make a connection. I have changed the APN to open.internet and open.public.internet and neither has worked.

Any ideas?
