Connection switching between 3G, HSDPA and HSPA+

A background ping is generally enough to keep it ramped up.

Awesome, I will give this a try. Do you just ping a random Ip to keep it alive?

I usually go for www.google.com. Some servers will block pings because it can be seen as a DoS attack.

Can't remember where but somewhere on these forums someone added a script you can run to keep the connection active. It constantly pings Google. Think it was a thread in the MTN section.

On that forum it is also mentioned that browsing will feel smoother. I can imagine - i've noticed when you open a webpage initially the connection is slow and then ramps up speed as the modulation scheme changes from normal 3G to HSPA+. If you're on HSPA+ modulation from the start it should feel quicker? Will play around a bit tonight.

ohh btw.. you can just ping with "ping google.com -t" and it will repeat until you press "ctrl+c".

this is the command i use, it will run a continous ping while only using 2 bytes a second.

ping www.google.com -t -l 2

This keeps me permantly on HSDPA+

If you haven't been browsing/downloading for a while, but the pings were still running, does your modem get hot?

ping www.google.com -t -l 2

Yes, this repeating ping works - keeps the modem running on HSPA+ I had it running for 15 minutes, it still gets quite hot though.
