Reception Without Reception

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

In my office, which is at a remote work site, my berry shows me I have 5 bars H+ and the BIS indicator. However, when I try to browse or BBM .. no go. Browser cites a communication failure and BBM just stays with the ))) symbol or the clock.

If I leave the office and go out in the field my reception/coverage actually drops to 2-4bars H+ and BIS BUT, it works. WTF?

Any ideas? I presume the phone is simply not refreshing its coverage indicator, but WHY??

So frustrating with all other issues with Rim's servers these days.

Sounds like your employer has found a way to block your Internet Access so you will go back to work.

Sometimes have same experience - with both my 9700 and my Playbook. Full coverage but no surfing available... Disable - and re-enable the WiFi helped. But after I got a new WiFi router I never had the problem again....:rolleyes:

Don't have wifi here at work though. I'm surfing purely on the cellular service.
