3G issues with Nexus One on AT&T?

I received my new Nexus One for AT&T yesterday.  Have been impressed by the screen, speed and form factor but having issues with my 3G connection.  Although 3G shows consistently in the status bar, the connectivity is intermittent.  When pages do load, they load quickly however most of the time they will hang.  

I have made mention of this in the following Nexus One forum:

Circle line continues to get worse after introduction of "lasso line"

Longer waits and fewer trains after Circle line extension

Commuters on the redesigned Circle line are suffering much longer waits between services and fewer trains, official figures reveal today.

Transport for London's own figures prove what many passengers have suspected for weeks — that the line is now worse after being extended to Hammersmith. This is despite promises that the changes would improve the Tube's least reliable line.

In the four weeks after the Circle was turned into a “lasso line” between Edgware Road and Hammersmith, the number of trains in service and the distance they travelled both fell — with rush-hours worst affected.

The number of trains in service fell from 93.2 per cent of the target in the previous period to 90.4 per cent, while the distance travelled by peak-hour trains fell from 90 per cent of target to 87.8 per cent.

Problems have also been caused by the decision to reduce the service from seven to six trains an hour — or one every 10 minutes. At times passengers have been forced to wait up to 20 minutes for a train, while being charged premium fares to travel in Zone 1. Total average journey times on the Circle line are also longer than a year ago.
