iPhone 4 Internet running slow on 3G?

Anyone else having this problem? It's working pretty good for me right now but for most the day it has been loading pretty slow or mostly not at all even though I have full service. Is it the phone or is it AT&T?

iPhone OS 3.1.3

I ran this test with my wife's 3GS and my iPhone 4....not only was she getting better DL and upload speeds she also had a much lower ping around 300...mine being around 7000. Can anyone make sense of this? Apple acts like I'm being to picky but when it takes 80 seconds to bring up yahoo I believe there is something wrong.

I'm hoping that this is something to so with ios 4.0 but with the lack of complaints I'm seeing about this I'm starting to believe I may just have a lemon.

I am having the exact same problem!

Honestly, it's good to hear I'm not the only one. I took it into the Simply Mac store where I bought it and at first the guy told me sometimes 3G is slow and it just depends on the service area blah, blah, blah. Then I placed it on the desk right next to my girlfriend's iPhone 3Gs. Her phone was screaming fast while mine would actually timeout. He just told me to wait for an update. I really hope they fix this problem soon. It's very frustrating.

Same problem here, SLC area. My data performance has been TERRIBLE. Most of my speed tests are 10,000+ ping and 0-75 kb DL and 0 upload!!! I can't do anything with the internet. There are periods during the day where it actually works like my old 3GS, then it craps out again. I also have a list of other issues (sensor problem putting calls on hold and randomly dialing other people, taking up to a full minute when making a call before it starts ringing, dropping 8 out of 10 calls where I can still here people but suddenly they can't hear me.....) I love the phone itself, it's gorgeous, but seriously, these issues are killing me!!This things getting returned if something doesn't get fixed SOON.

I have been having the same problem too. Sometimes fast, sometimes it would load about 10% and freezed for 60 secs then when it started to load it would load quickly. I also kinda noticed that it was running fast when I first used it until I synced it with my previous 3Gs phone restore. I think the problem might be the network settings get skewed when going from 3Gs to iphone 4. I reset my network settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings) and I haven't had an issue since. It has only been 1/2 day, but everything has been loading ok. Give it a shot. I'll let you know if it starts to lag again.
