I recently just got verizon um150 usb connect for my labtop. When i play online games on the connection it goes dormant between 2-10 mins. I tryed serveral different methods of keeping the connection alive, a couple different programs: connection keeper, stay alive pro etc. I streamed live radio, ran bit torrent client. Nothing seemed to keep my connection alive is there anything i can do to stop the connection from going dormant? I hope someone can help would greatly appreciate it.

I would suggest searching these forums on dumping the vz access manager. or you could switch to a router sold by 3gstore.com and that would also solve your problems.

there is a program called Bytsoft Stay alive pro, It pings what ever websites (yahoo,google,atelvista, ect) you tell it to at a preset of time that you instruct to ping. Since it is only pining the websites it does not consume noticable amountts of bandwidth, and will keep your broadband card from going into dormant mode. Search this webiste on stay alive or dormant mode.

I use Safari on a Mac and large downloads were being canceled after about 150 Megs. Now I open TitanTV.com which refreshes itself every 15-30 minutes. This keeps my downloads connected for as long as three hours (550 Meg software download).

In the past I've noticed that the Mac would go to sleep during application activity but not keystroke activity, a Filemaker script of long duration vs typing data. So the sleep function is cued by non-keystroke and not by lack of cpu activity.

Just open your browser to TitanTV.com...

The fix for that is found in the connection manager software. If you click on menu, go to settings, then click on General, you will see a checkbox that says allow hibernation. Uncheck that box. then click apply and then OK and that should stop it from going dorment during gamming.
