Internet is so slow on BB Bold 9900 A&T

**chewblock** · 06-02-2012, 11:22 PM

I just upgraded my phone to BB Bold 9900 and I have noticed that Internet is very very slow without wifi... Sometimes page doesnt even load up.. Funny thing is, once the page do load up after a long time, any web sites after that loads up very quickly! But then it doesn't last long until I have to wait 2-4 minutes for a web site to load up...

I don't know what the issue is... Internet is fast on Wifi...

Anybody have a similar issue?

Thank you in advance

Been having this same issue all day. Maybe there is a coverage outage or BIS issue going around.

I'm having the same problem with my 9930 on vzw. I went in and out of service all day today too.

Yes there must be an issue on RIM's end because I'm with AT&T and have had the same problems all day long. Hope we figure this out asap.

wow that's weird.. i thought i was the only one.. at first i thought i got the defected device.. i guess we'll have to wait a couple more days to see if it'll be better?

**chewblock** · 06-02-2012, 11:44 PM

we need to bump this thread so AT&T users can see this... i seriously thought i was the only one!

really? hmm because i didn't reinstall anything and internet just started to work really fast about 2-3 mins ago..

**chewblock** · 06-02-2012, 11:50 PM

if verizon users and att users are experiencing same internet speed problem, then i'm assuming it has something to do with RIM?

Been slow all week

I have been having this problem for several days now and tried different OSes to no avail. The problem for me has been on both wifi and 4G. It does seem to have gotten faster all the sudden like chewblock just said. I also had issues with the scrolling (even on fully loaded pages) being slow and jerky and had the problem with several OSes, but the problem has gone away after going back to 7.1.0.318 Official from Docomo Japan. Scrolling is super smooth now, but have just had the problem with the pages loading really slow.

Several days of slow interner on VZW 9650. Getting communication errors too. Assuming it's BIS

hmm that's weird... well for me, i don't have any scrolling problem yet.. but who knows, i might have that in a couple of days since I just got this phone today..

but this internet speed is really frustrating!

Been crawling for me off and on since yesterday on Sprint as well. It works well for a few minutes and then drags again or I get a communication error. Something's up.

**Kimberly Boals** · 06-03-2012, 12:14 AM

@ Chewblock - I believe the scrolling issue was an OS issue. What OS are u running?

I just got the phone today and I didn't touch anything so I believe I got 7.0 Bundle 2392..

but I was just about to upgrade it to the latest OS from China but I was a little skeptical so thought it'd be better if I ask you guys and I'm glad I did

yea so far it's happening to verizon and att users... why is RIM keep on slipping!!

**BigBadWulf** · 06-03-2012, 12:52 AM

Seems across many carriers intermittently. At least it's not a complete service failure.

**mackentoch** · 06-03-2012, 01:25 AM

everyones saying its an BIS issue but can we all agree that maybe its just BS

**Chrisy** · 06-03-2012, 01:29 AM

Yeah, it's a little annoying but not too big a deal. Mine seems fine now. It's come and go.

I'm sure they're fixing it.

another funny thing is I downloaded Opera Browser and it does everything that BB Browser can't do at the moment... so I'm guessing it has something to do with BB browser.. try Opera and it will load everything fast
