I have been having a drop in 3g coverage a lot recently. I have tried 2 ROMS with no change so I wondered if it is a Virgin Mobile issue?

My 3g coverage has been esp. horrible this past week. At work, where I normally get a full signal, (4 bars) I have been lucky to get 1x. Thank goodness for my wifi at home, because my signal there is basically non existent. It wasnt great before by any means, but atleast it was consistent.

Just curious, what part of the country do you guys live in? Maybe they are doing maintenance on towers in our areas?

Im sorry, no answers here guys. Im just as confused as the rest of you. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light here soon.

I'm on the verge of leaving Virgin myself because of the pathetic "3G" speeds. If I have anything but a full 5-bar connection, my cell data speeds are atrocious - along the lines of 100kbps or less. I'm certain I got better speeds when I was a Sprint customer roaming on Verizon towers at 1X.

Probably gonna end up getting a used HTC Inspire 4G and going with Straight Talk... even though at $45 it'll nearly double my monthly cell bill, I will get unlimited minutes in addition to text/data and as much as I hate AT&T, their coverage and data speeds in my area are infinitely better than Sprint.

So the only way to get this fixed is to play phone tag with VM and ask them to check my provisioning?

Just got bit by this yesterday and still suffering with edge connectivity this morning. Considering I just canceled my DSL and am waiting on cable I'm really feeling the pain!

Never mind, fixed issues via battery pull and cooling off period. Posting for future reference to others.

Haven't had 3g in over a week I messaged them and they said they're getting it fixed. ^_^
