5) Clarify Case # 2367333 TA reports Verizon speed changes from EV to 1X when Internet Sharing is setup via USB connection on ES400 build 103. Does anyone know if this is expected behavior?...possibly due to Verizon restriction when using Internet Sharing? The moment his laptop acquires the IP address, the icon changes from EV to 1X.

Answer from Systems Engineering:
There should be no change in network connectivity based on Internet Sharing (the network is not aware of it). It is possible that coverage is marginal to begin with and the modem shifts down when packets are attempted and failed on EVDO.
Thanks, Dave. According to the TA...the icon switches just as the laptop gets the IP address....I am attempting to reproduce issue here. All sources I check agree with you...should be no change as per Verizon.
