    Very slow 3G on Fido iPhone in the Yonge & Sheppard area of Toronto

    Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm in the Yonge & Sheppard area and 3G data on my iPhone 4 has slowed to a crawl. Data comes through eventually, but absurdly slow (takes 3-5 min to download one email).

    I check with speedtest.net, and it reported DL speeds of 0.01Mbps (strangly, uploading at 1.04Mbps). Ping is 93ms.

    I was downtown on the weekend, and speeds near the Eaton Centre were normal. Might be a location specific problem? They might also be throttling, but unlikely, since I didn't get close to my limit last month (6GB).

    With all the construction in the area, maybe a tower was damaged? Any suggestions would be appreciated
