Q. So I've had a problem with my wireless over the past few months. In November and December I had a lot if calls and cooperation with Verizon to figure out why my service randomly clicks off for a couple of seconds. It's not a matter of decreased speeds, its a matter of losing my data connection all together. I've tried a couple of things with Verizon, such as checking certain setting, getting a new sim card, and replacing the phone (3 times). Every call was met with critism about my data usage (20gb+ a month) but they never said that it would cause the problem I'm having. After a month of failed trouble shooting, I had started to get angry with them. The only possibilties that were left were either the service is to blame, or the thunderbolt phone itself (i replaced it, remember). Verizon leaned towards the thunderbolt phone, and after some argueing, they decided to upgrade my phone to the HTC 4G LTE Incredible. Janurary I started off having no problems, but after a week I started experiencing times where my data connection just doesn't work again. Very similar to what I had with the thunderbolt.
So, I am really suspicious of Verizon. I use about 20+ GB a month with my 4G LTE unlimited data service. I know they had been throttling their 3G users, but I am wondering if they are now doing the same to me(I'm 4g). Before I call Verizon again about this issue, I want to test to see if they are possibily throttling me. Is there any way to check on my android phone if I am being throttled? Is there an app that I could run that would check my connection for when it dies out?

A. You seriously use over 20+ GB a month on your phone? Haha, that's nothing. I use 40 GB per month and I'm fine. I just leave my phone streaming movies 95% of the time and I leave it plugged in.
will the android phones be able to upgrade to the 4g network?
Q. i just got the HTC droid incredible with verizon, and i was wondering if, once verizon gets the 4g network, with there be a mass android phone upgrade that will upgrade all the android phones to the 4G network? i know that there was an update that gave the droid the pinch feature for making screens bigger. So will there be an upgrade that does this?
A. No, how it works is for the phone to be able to utilize said connection of 4G, it requires certain hardware similar to how some computers are not able to access wireless, they need a hardware chip and can't just simply install a program/set it up. Which is why Sprint only has the Evo able to use 4G and why the others can't due to not being a software upgradeable compatibility but a hardware requirement able to use the signal.
An example is T Mobile's HSPA+ rollout. T Mobile is rolling out HSPA+ a 3G network with enhanced speeds fast as and faster than Sprint's 4G, although their devices are able to receive a boost because it is still 3G, the hardware is not capable of utilizing the full power, therefore the need for an HSPA+ device to show off their network which is where the HTC Vanguard/Vision comes in with the hardware capability - soon to be released this summer stated by T Mobile via Twitter feed, although thought to be October/November.
So you will need a new cell phone for 4G, and even then it has to be in your area, I recommend mid 2011 since it's planned to roll out end of 2010/ beginning of 2011 I believe.
