I have had this EVDO service or whatever you want to call it for about 2 days now, and I'm quickly realizing that it was the biggest mistake i've made in a long time.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!

I stay connected for anywhere from 3-10 minutes at a time, before my phone displays ~Dormant~

At that point, my connection dies, i have to manually disconnect, and then reconnect through my computer, and then i get another 3-10 minutes.

It doesnt matter what im doing online, it ALWAYS happens

For what it matters, im using the LG VX9600 (the new versa) and this is the most horrendous internet ive ever used. I know this isnt how it is supposed to be, so someone tell me what the heck is up with this dormant crap. I have never been so frustrated in my life.

I know this is old but maybe still relevant. We get that too, it's not always such an issue for us. Call Verizon - once we mentioned to them we were getting "dormant" and that really suprised our rep.

You can try start > run > "ping google.com -t" (no quotes). That should keep your modem busy.
