EvDo Rev A_EHRPD on Verizon prepaid

[rybshik]

do not use ehrpd on non lte devices.

ok, apples to apples. Now I only play with 4620 activated on native Verizon LTE account, with SIM card. The device is forced to EVDO mode (Rev A_EHRPD).

Experiment-1: SIM card is enabled (RUIM only mode). Device reports PRL 15226, which I assume is LTE+EVDO PRL.

Experiment-2: SIM card is disabled (NV only mode). Device reports PRL 53175 which is the most recent EVDO PRL for my location.

When I compared speeds, it seems that in Experiment-1 speed was slightly better. Although it might be just a "placebo" effect.

So, LTE+EVDO prl might somehow provide better connection than most tecent EVDO PRL. Possible?

No. The only difference would be QoS setting favoring postpaid customer over prepaid customer on that tower/site. Anything else is wishful thinking at very best.

QoS setting favoring postpaid customer over prepaid customer on that tower/site..

Is it only set on Verizon side/tower? Or in modem settings as well?
