Data session starting out 3G, ending up on EDGE

I've been having some weird issues with 3G and my Tilt lately. It will hook onto 3G fine, and downloads and speed tests will start out 3G, then about half-way in it will drop back to EDGE. Every so often I can get a full 3G session, but it is rare anymore. I am running Dutty's April 16th ROM and the 1.58.21.23 Niki Radio by the way, thanks!

I did have to have my previous Tilt replaced due to a 3G issue, where the phone would see the 3G network, then refuse to use it and drop the signal, then search and find EDGE, then just drop the signal altogether, I hope this one doesn't have 3G issues too.

Could be an unstable 3G network in your area. Probably still needs tweaking to work right.

Have you asked anyone else with AT&T/Edge Wireless if they are having the same issues as you?

That's what I've been thinking too, because 3G was pretty steady and solid up until a week or so ago. I did get full HSDPA (H on screen all of the time) yesterday in Clearlake, today it was the standard UMTS/HSDPA (3G during idle, H during data transfer) service, and 3G comes and goes in Lakeport. It seems to be pretty steady in the Ukiah area though.

Edge/AT&T hasn't officially launched it yet, so I guess I am one of their unpaid Guinea Pigs, and my Tilt isn't confused, just the network

Edit-I have talked to Edge, but they never give any concrete answers. Come to think of it, Verizon has EVDO allover this market now, it makes sense Edge would be tweaking their 3G to compete.
