iOS 6.1 3G coverage really bad

So I had perfect 3G coverage, speeds and a stable connection before

Then I updated my 4S to iOS 6.1

Since then, even though the 3G icon is showing, connection will be inaccessible every other minute. Connection became really unstable. For instance, in games or apps, warning will pop: "Internet connection lost" even though i'm in full coverage area AND 3G icon is showing.

This is really, really bad. iOS 6.1 destroyed my iPhones 3G connectivity. Can't use my 4S like this. Please fix ASAP, is not a user or settings problem, iOS 6.1 broke my phone.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1

Same problem here. Since upgrade to 6.1 , 3G seems to be there but it dissapears for at least half a minute, then it appears again. I have Movistar Spain. Please Apple take the problem into consideration

Hi guys

My 4s had the same probem!

If my 4s only has 2/3 bars signal, the problem is getting worse!

Same here..on vodafone india...ever since i upgraded to iOS 6.1, 3G has become unstable...full bars, 3G icon everything there but no connectivity

I guess only 2 ways out

1) wait for Apple to come out with a fix (which may eventually come but may take till the release of the next iphone)

2) restore from old backup in DFU mode

i would input my experience with iOS 6.1.1 if it weren't for iTunes that keeps constantly failing for some reason...

Error 3014 (two or three times)

Error -1 (that's a nice one... "minus" 1)

and so on!

Apple - Y U NO fix bugs?!
