FYI and I realize this is area specific.
My buddy and I live in two different states UT and CA and both get the best & consistent speeds with the UVLC8 radio... without the timeout periods that although are temporary are an annoyance we were both experiencing on this rom with the other applicable radios.
Highly recc that you give it a try with Vers X and compare speed & consistency, feedback appreciated.

^^^what he said... it's the seventh one down, but be aware that the mirror didn't work the main link did for me.
Thanks for the tip. Will be checking it out soon!!
Ive used this on every ICS ROM...until I tried the uvlg3 modem. Its not necessarily faster, but its more consistant.
For me.

This. I'm on Telus and I get a way better signal with the Blaze radio. Your best bet is to try them all extensively and see what works the best for your phone/network/location.

Considering how big New York is, their might not be a clear answer. Best thing is to flash them one by one, and find out for yourself.
Since am also in NYC of them all that I've tested to be so called the "best" is the note radio uvlg3 then the newest uvlh5 blaze radio..

Sit on your couch. Download a few radios, get the signal strength app, flash a radio, check your dBm and download speeds.
This sort of thing varies for everyone and there is never a clear cut answer.

The radio included WILL work, you just won't get HSPA+. You'll only get EDGE.

It took a while to load a Web page and would oscillate between 3g and 4g. Now it's stable and fast. My 3g seems more useful too whereas before 3g was equivalent to no data at all.

The new radio is a lot better. I have considerably better speeds up to almost two megabits down on evdo. The statement that the os itself probably didn't change a ton except how the speeds are reported is true though.

Seems like they would've addressed the inferior radios before JB. Makes me think it was a form of throttling.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Took HTC and Sprint forever to address the lousy radio on the EVO3d when it was released. I was surprised when I went from a Transform to a 3d and was surprised by the slower loading webpages... Yeah not a fun experience to get a faster phone to be hobbled by the actual firmware.

They probably try to do as few otas as possible, to minimize costs and technical errors. Perhaps Qualcomm released new stuff, but I doubt sprint, one of the slower networks, would want to throttle their devices.

Radios can make your performance worse as well. Perhaps flash an old one from zv7,8, or 9

Yes they can, my phone did not want to send text messages after the JB ota, and my 4g signal sucked too.
Does anyone have flashable radios from ICS that i can flash onto this ****ty jelly bean update?

Hmm there may not be any then. I hadn't seen any, but hoped perhaps you would. Unfortunately, I can't help. My PC is down so I can't unpack the tot. Either go in irc and have someone dump the IMG or perhaps you would want to lgnpst and then restore a backup in recovery.
