ICS - How to turn off LTE radio?

I used to use "LTE Switch" to turn off LTE and use 3G only before ICS, but now it seems that they took away that option. Or hid it really well. Anyone know how to turn off the LTE radio using ICS?

Mucho gracias.
 
Significant battery life increase is observed with the LTE radio turned off, thus why some folks would desire to kill it.

Assume your going camping for the weekend, leaving Friday and coming home Sunday. Kill LTE, and keep your mobile data 3G of as well, only toggling on 3G mobile data a needed and you will have battery to spare while still getting your text and phone calls.

It's a part of managing your battery for your situation.
 
As far as I'm concerned, since it's become Global Ready, you can't have it on CDMA only. It's either CDMA/LTE, Global, or GSM. No CDMA Only option. I haven't seen my battery do anything out of the ordinary, though. And I live in an area with spotty 4G
 
I tried the thunderbolt program. Which choice do I change it to? Just so I am sure, what is the original setting?
