Im on TELUS and have a BB TORCH.... my phone browser is actually faster than the playbook... just wondering if this can be fixed or do we have to wait for an update... I have full bars on my phone and its on a 3G network.... thanks guys!

    Yes very slow for me too!
    I want to internet tether instead but not working!
    What should we do to get the internet tethering to work?

    so there is no way to fix this problem??? I was hoping that the bridge browser would be as fast as my torch browser .... this is not good.... hopefully RIM or someone can fix this problem... i need the internet on the go and was hoping the bridge would be an awesome fit??..... but the playbook overall RULES... love the PLAYBOOK!!!!!

    Any of you guys on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) through your work? The default mode for the Bridge Browser is to go through your BES and then to the Internet. Ie: PlayBook->BlackBerry Smartphone->BES Server->Internet.

    It's bound to be slow if your corporate network doesn't have a lot of bandwidth to the Internet. This is clearly for security reasons (the BES<-->Internet behaviour) since it allows content-filtering and such on the corporate network.

    People on a BIS-only (BlackBerry Internet Service) plan will find things a lot faster I would think as the path is PlayBook->BlackBerry Smartphone->Internet (3G) ...cutting the BES "middle man" out.


    ...guesses on my part, though I *have* verified the BES thing with my own phone which is on a BESx (Xpress version of BES). I don't know what your situations are, but would you care to share?
