The radio is 1.43 - I get 5 bars on the ceullular. I recently found a youtube video that shows the same prob.

I realize he finally just swapped his phone with verizon, but i'm off contract, no insurance, and out of the warranty. Not to mention, I'm convinced it's a software issue. I downloaded a nifty app, vxutil, that shows all the network adadpters and such but I'm a total newb to network troubleshooting.

Update: it's starting to look more and more like the wifi modem is simply not present. If I tap connections>add a new modem connection I should see the wifi in the select modem drop box - but I don't. vxutil shows no ip address for both tiacxwln1 or wwan1. Thoughts?
