Slow internet access over 3G

Since 5/31/12, my internet access over 3G has been super duper slow.

I can see that a request is going out from the phone, but the phone just sits there saying 'requesting' this is happening with any site I visit. Anyone else seeing this behavior? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been seeing this problem in the South Bay and North Bay.

This same issue started for me yesterday and I've been rebooting and turning it on and off and no help. I had assumed there are network issues but that's why I checked here. I know the network is working as I have connection for my apps etc. no problem so not sure what the deal is.

Yup, rebooting(even pulling out the battery) has not helped.

Probably not our phones then and either a Verizon or Blackberry issue. I was hoping it clears up tomorrow.

My Blackberry has been unusually quiet since the 31st, whether it's network issues or not I don't know. Very few emails, a couple of texts....maybe no one wants to talk to me this weekend?

Just FYI, I'm also in the SF Bay Area, North bay.

I have experienced very to to connect for about a week. Contacted support by email yesterday and got this response this morning. Surprisingly, it was better today.
