Mods kung mali po ang section kindly move po.
Gumawa na po ako ng sariling thread ng malupit na HSPA+ usb modem na ito para dito na lang natin pag usapan ang lahat. How to maximize it's usage and full capability.
I am a proud user with a legit connection SmarBro Plan 999. And i am happy with the results. Sulit para sa akin.
So right now below is everything you need to know. Kayo na po ang bahalang humusga. Kung may kulang sa informations why not share what you know and your experience?
I give credits to whom i got some of the informations and to my idol jaime4i.
special thanks po kay boss iN0ah and ian005 for contributing on this FAQ ang kay boss Fawkes01 for all the help.
By the way don't get carried away by what you see here. It is still your resposibility to know if this modem is applicable at your area dapat kasi malakas ang signal ng ginagamit mong TelCo most specialy sa kanilang HSPA+ signal.
And i am very much open for corrections. Tao lang.
There is a debate regarding 4G/HSPA+ here in the Philippines kaya search lang po ninyo via Google. Ayaw ko ng sumawsaw.
Let's start!
Today siya po ay gamit ng Smart Philippines. And the device is naka lock. Means hindi ka puwedeng gumamit ng ibang sim. Kung marunong kang mag unlock why not?
I am using the newest version e353s-6.
Huawei e353s-6 Operating frequency
Ang Smart Rocket Plugit.
Eto po ang kanyang itsura kapag unbranded.

Yep you read it right! This baby has an external antenna interface. And a dual antenna!. Puwede po tayong gumamit ng outdoor antenna kapag mahina ang signal natin sa loob ng bahay like me. Pero dapat 2.1Ghz na try ko na gumamit ng 2.4Ghz thats what we use for the Wimax malakas pero hindi stable kasi nga yung frequency. So kapag gamit mo is 2.1Ghz nasa range at frequency ka ng HSPA+ signal not unlike 2.4Ghz. O ngayon alam mo na ha?
Price:
Sa eBay it cost around PHP2.4K free shipping - Matagal
Sa TPC it is around PHP2.3K + shipping - Mabilis
Sa Smart it is around PHP2.4K - Mabilis
Sa Smart ito ay packaged para sa prepaid SEE PRICE AND INFOS HERE
In the market there are two types of Smart Rocket Plug-it. One is the old stock which is openline (E353u-6) and the other one is the new stock that is locked on Smart SIM only (E353s-6). And another one is with the 3UK logo which is the e353w.
All has the same highest download speed which is 21mbps. But! they vary with the operating frequency they can have. Some are single band while others are multi band. Since naka post na po sa taas yung versions you can ask google about it.

Mods pasensya na sa pag plug hindi ako nagbebenta pero kung di ayon sa inyo pde po i edit.
ETC:
By visiting telcos website makakakuha po kayo ng firmware upgrade nito.
Pero just incase na need ninyo it may unlock your device. Tested it ko na ito kapag nag papalit ako ng firmware from Smart to Moded at wala naman problem. Please use it at your own risk.
Siya kasi ang pinaka stable sa lahat. Well, para sa akin.
Graham ingss ISO double click lang po ninyo at dapat nakalagay yung inyong modem. Tested with or without sim.
Ito naman po Edited Smart Rocket Plug-It dashboard/firmware this edited dashboard is configured for Smart bro user only with RAS + PAP configuration.

And kung gusto po ninyong i backup ang ISO ng inyong dongle at gawan ng Dashboard installer.

Thanks to sir Fawkes01!
If my memory served me right to date ang nakita kong mataas na download rate is around 10mbps - 12mbps courtesy of bossing jaime4i and 14mbps from boss fawkes01
Mine i got around 8mbps download rate. i use a tool to check my profile and yes up to 8mbps lang puwedeng ibigay.

Siyempre patuloy pa rin silang nagtatayo ng mga HSPA+ sites kaya those are not the final list.

Take a glimpse of a 3G/4G antennas and how they look like
Ang gamit ko to date is the Yagi antenna from HotGadgets and take note during weekends ko na lang siya nilalagay kasi lumakas na ng husto signal dito sa amin. Kahit sa banyo may HSPA+ signal pa rin. Kaya siguro dami na ang napapanot dito sa amin buti na lang wala sa lahi ko.
E353 status lights and their meaning
Yellow - CONNECTNG/READING/WRITING/UPDATING
Green - BLINKING TWICE EVERY 3 SECONDS: DONGLE IS ON AND HAS POWER
Blue - BLINKING ONCE EVERY 3 SECONDS: DONGLE IS REGISTERING WITH A 3G/3G+ NETWORK
Blue - SOLID: DONGLE IS CONNECTED TO A 3G NETWORK
Cyan - SOLID: DONGLE IS CONNECTED TO A 3G+ NETWORK
Para po sa inyong USB inquiries. Kung gagana ba ang 3Meters o 5Meters and so on and so fort. Please go to the link below. Dagdag knowledge po reagarding USB usage.

[Tool]Use a dialer instead of default Dashboard for non HSPA+ locations
Or use a Sun Broadband Dashboard instead
Why use this instead of the normal dashboard? Naka default kasi si E353 for WCDMA2100 band (e353w) problem is kung walang HSPA+ signal sa inyo eh unstable at mabagal ang connection mo so para masagap mo ng tama ang iyong signal ng maayos gamit ka muna ng dialer until such time na meron nang HSPA+ base station sa inyo. Usefull ito para sa mga naka bili na ng modem na ito at wala palang HSPA+ na base station within you area.
OR Enable the Multiband
If you do not feel the work around above there is another trick that can be done to enable the multiband ng E353 po natin. Ito po ay para mapili ninyo ang tamang frequency ng network ninyo habang wala pang HSPA+ na naka default sa WCDMA2100 na band
