Sometime during the wee hours of the morning, Verizon speedy 4G LTE network went down and has yet to come back.   There are definitely some miffed ThunderBolt owners out there due to this.   VZW has acknowledged the outage and working  expeditiously to fix it.   We suggest you follow@VerizonWireless on Twitter to stay in know of their status of getting consumers their speed back instead of running on the snail speed of 1X.   One of Droid-Life‘s readers submitted a tip to possibly get 3G up and running on your TBolt.   The step-by-step process is below:

Dial ##778# and hit send
* A pop-up window named EPST will show up giving you 2 choices: View Mode and Edit Mode. Pick: Edit Mode.
* Enter the Password: 000000
* Go down to Modem Settings and pick “Rev A“
* You’ll want to choose enable and click OK, hit the menu button and then press “Commit Modifications.”
* Restart your phone and you should see 3G is working
To switch back to 3G/4G, follow same instructions but choose eHRPD.
