Can a Sim card be provisioned to only work with specific router equipment

So it appears that my best current option for high speed /high data capacity is to subscribe with a company in GA which is a reseller for an outfit in Colorado (will not mention but many probably know of) and after initially resisting their sales tactics and convincing them I had a working LTE router (we826t w/em7455)they sent me a verizon sim. It worked at first with high speed data, but then abruptly dropped off to 600kbps, so I called them to inquire. The reseller has little or no expertise in technical aspects but after talking with the source of the sim, informed me that the sim WOULD NOT function properly in any other equipment except 'theirs'. Ive performed a reset of my Rooter firmware and looked for any other impediments within, but it seems now that my only option is to buy 'their' modem/router. At this point I'm ready to 'throw in the towel' but I wanted to see if any of the gear heads on this forum could offer insight. Can a Sim be restricted to operate only when paired with specific internal ID numbers or other unique identifiers. I was provided some information which included the APN and my router can and does connect, but throttles back once my equipment is identified on the cell network. Any help is appreciated.
this is the setting info they provided "PDP=IPv4, Profile=vzw, APN= so01.vzwstatic. The IPv4 setting seems to be auto detect in my we826, but if their is a possible manual setting that might correct my issue Id benefit from such knowledge, TIA to any help.
