Not sure if it just me but my iPhone 4S on Verizon takes FOREVER to load on 3G, like 2-3 minutes per page. On Wi-Fi it's blazing fast.....I live in NY area so my connection should be good and I had a Droid X before hand and it was fine on 3G. I called Verizon but they just said it will take some time for everything to work. It's now 6 hours later and it's still slow. Any suggestions to fix?

Mine is faster on 3G than my thunderbolt was on 3G. Maybe you are in a congested area because mine takes no where near that to load pages.

I just shut off Push notifications and that has somewhat helped the speed of it but it's still rather slow

Edit: Never mind it's still the same.......... hopefully that this is just a one time thing today

mine was slow once.
But it got fixed after I turned off wifi.

I'm using the 4S on AT&T, my 3G speed is blazing fast.

Mine is just as fast ( or slow) on sprint 3G as my nexus s was. Network speeds are really subjective though. Depending on where you are, how many people are on the tower your connected to, etc.

Yeah but the only difference is that on my droid it worked 10x faster on 3G but on wifi the 4 S destroys. Gonna give it a couple of days but it's painfully slow on 3G

What kind of speeds are you guys getting? My WiFi speed is faster than the speed of my MacBook Pro!

I'm on Verizon:

On WiFi - 10.92mbps down, 1.44mbps up

On 3G - 1.53mbps down, .68mbps up

In my house I only have 3 bars... so I'm thinking 1.53 isn't too bad, but I'm usually on wifi at home anyway.

No that's not bad at all for 3G speeds. I managed to get about 3.99Mbps down at home with AT&T. Was expecting around 6-8Mbps considering this phone supports 14.4Mbps. Oh well.
