Help 4G Stalls?

When I'm browsing the web, about every 10 minutes or so, my 4G connection stalls. I still have 3-4 bars lit up green but there is no activity showing in the arrows. It comes back after about 30 seconds to a minute later. It's extremely annoying. Is anyone else seeing this? Could this be a problem with my SIM card?

I'm running CM7 with the latest radios but I'm about to revert back to stock GB to see if it happens there.
 
Guy at Verizon store the other day told me it's related to your phone trying to decide which tower to be on, a 4G tower, or another nearby 3G tower. As more 3G towers are converted to 4G towers, that should go away.

Not sure if it's true, but it made sense to me. the phone is "confused."
 
This started happening to me yesterday. I just switch data off/on and it is fixed, but it is a pain...

(I'm rooted stock)
 
I just got this phone(today) and I'm having the same issue. May give it some time and see it works itself out.
 
A couple weeks ago I was having problems with 4G and 3G being out, even to the point where 1x wasn't even working, couldn't even make a call at one point. Went to Verizon and apparently the solar flare messed up a bunch of satellites or something, I didn't believe him at first but I looked it up online and it was all over the news. I know Verizon's 4G is still pretty new and expanding really fast, maybe just a lot of drop offs... So the question is, is it really the worlds most reliable 4G network??? probably, but who knows in the next couple years...
 
I had the Nexus for a week and returned it for the same reason. I think they are doing this so the nexus people have company :-)
 
Me too. It's really pissing me off cuz it was fine until they pushed the GB update on me in the middle of the night, when I couldn't defer it. Phone was perfect. Now it's constantly dropping data and, at best, I only get 3G speeds even though it shows 4G.

At work I used to get 9mbps and up. Yesterday it was 0.29mbps, on "4G".
 
I haven't noticed any stalls in quite some time now. I'm on a solid 4g connection unless I go to an area without coverage.
