IOS5 not clearing old connection/reconnecting

[LapsangSouchong]

This is something I've noticed since IOS5. First on the IP4, then on the 4S. In 3 towns, in 2 states (in places where I've usually had a good connection).

Sometimes my phone/data will just stop working. I'll see plenty of bars, and a 3G but nothing happens. And it stays that way. If I quickly toggle wireless, I see the same, but if I turn off wireless for a few minutes then turn it back on I'll see something very different (usually, a bar or two, and NO 3G/E etc.
Eventually after that it will reconnect. Is anyone else noticing that it's having a hard time reconnecting after it loses service lately?

Yes I get the same thing, the iphone has gone down hill in the last few years. Its an old dead design and ATT is the worst carrier on the planet. The only reason to get the iphone is because you love to suffer.

If Buda were alive today he would have an iPhone on ATT, so he could experience all of the suffering life has to offer.

I'm wondering about that. I've been on ATT for a few years and never had any issues with them, til a couple of weeks ago. Hmm.
