Verizon EVDO settings

If you live in a "fringe" area of coverage sometimes you have a stronger "National Access" signal than "Broadband Rev A" signal. When this happens the VZW client swaps over to the slower connection, even if there is still sufficient EVDO signal to stay connected.  If you are using a security sensitive application like a VPN when this happens then you will be dropped and will have to reconnect.

There is an answer to this. With your card inserted in your laptop start your VZW client. Then hit ctl-d enter the super secret password of diagvzw click settings on the menu then choose HDR only.
