2 days ago i updated and jailbroke 4.2.8 using snowbreeze. Everything went well and been working fine, but when i came back to my work (Which is a brick building w/ very poor signal thru Verizon) I am experiencing extreme loss of 3G. It will keep switching from 3G to 2G with mostly staying on 2G. Now like i said my work is covered with brick and has always had poor reception, but ive always had at least 1 or 2 bars with 3G. I also checked my co workers VZW iphone (UNJAILBROKEN running 4.2.8) and he had stable 3G in the same place i had 2G... Now this could be just a weird thing with maybe just my phone and the bad weather the last few days.. Any thoughts?
ALSO: As soon as i leave my work. I have stable 3G the rest of the day.
Let me know if anyone else is having problems/heard of this problem.

its probably a fluke. i just re-jailbroke my phone and now i will check out the signals when i get to work, i work on the ground floor of a hospital. track it over a few days to see if it is weather related.

Will do. Just thought it's super weird that 2 of the same phones same network and same 4.2.8 that one had stable 3G and one flickers 2g/3G.
I will observe though. The last few day have been rainy and overcast but today us suppose to be like 75 an sunny so if I still have problem today I may just restore and re jailbreak.

My wife and I purchased identical iPhones at the same time from the same store. For some reason hers always had a slightly stronger signal than mine.
Recently I jailbroke mine and hers is still factory. After doing the JB I did a PRL update on mine. Most of the time now I have a better signal than she does with mine rarely dipping below 3 bars.
Try an update on your PRL and see if that helps.
