Pick a feature-rich modems, for example support with the speed of 3.6 Mbps and 7.2 Mbps. Could use a Micro SD Card slot. USB Extension. Features Wireless Lan (Wifi). GPS features. Support External Antenna Indoor and Outdoor, etc..
But sometimes these features can lead to other problems on your modem, for example, the modem always auto-connect to WiFi than to GSM. So if you're not too familiar with extra feature which I suggest should be given only the standard select the modem.
4. Modem Model.
Do not be fooled by the petite and pretty modern. Not all modems in the form of pretty good quality. Also avoid the modem that can be folded, since the plug more quickly USBnya damaged.
5. Software Modem.

Important determining factor in choosing a provider internet. Today many studded package offered by the provider internet. Also do not be fooled by the lure of cheap prices. Because usually a cheap internet packet network quality is also cheap. It never hurts to spend more money to get a good internet connection. Rather than spend time waiting for loading a web page.
2. Local location.

Generally, the modem automatically reduces your connection type from 3G to 2G if the signal if 2G is stronger than 3G. But some types of modem can be manually set to always connect to a 3G network. So choose the Internet provider that its 3G network signal is stronger and better your area.
3. Users of internet packages.
Some of your friends might say that internet package "A" is good. Maybe some of your other friends even say the Internet package "B" is good. This can not be used as a benchmark. Because good or not an internet connection is also influenced by the number of users (the user) the internet in that area. A tower (BTS) Internet network GSM is generally only able to receive 40 users simultaneously in one time. So if you booming area of Internet users, of course, influence on your own so go get a slow Internet network.
4. Speed Internet.
Modem in the market has a data transfer speeds between 3.6 Mbps to 7.2 Mbps. This means that the transfer speed modems and base stations is 3.6 or 7.2 Megabytes per one second. But do not immediately get me wrong if you only download speeds of about 256Kbps only. Transfer speed your modem is true 3.6 or 7.2 Mbps to the BTS, but generally limit the speed of your Internet provider from the BTS to the Internet, so you get less speed.
-----( 7.2Mbps modem )---> [BTS] -----( 256Kbps Internet )---->
So choose your Internet provider that offers better speed to the Internet.
