later it was solved by reinstalling the dashboard and running the DataCard_setup64..
the device is now OK. so i proceed with the connection.
im using smartbro prepaid sim currently enrolled in unlisurf promo..
my location is at IT Park. its meters away from one of Smart's HSPA+ sites.. the waterfront hotel.
im also at the 11th floor. so i expected a faster connection.
BUT all i got was a non HSPA+ signal (only 4 bars of HSPA).
the mobile partner dashboard indicates speeds ranging from 10kbps upload and 100kbps download around 4~5pm.
also, my IDM speeds only reach an average of 15kbps transfer rate..
sometimes it spikes to 30kbps.
my queston is, did i miss a configuration?
i did not expect speeds this low cming from a HSPA+ USB modem..
tips please.
