Help Slower 3g Than iPhone

Has anyone else noticed slower than usual and spottier 3g coverage? I switched over from the iPhone 3g and am thinking about swtiching back. I love the phone and it's openness but this lack of network connection is killing me. Even in places where 3g coverage was crappy as long as I had even one bar with my iPhone I'd be connected. The page may have taken 40 seconds to load but it almost always did. Right now I have 3 bars on my atrix with no 3g networks available in a place I know they are. WTF!!!! Also, the browsers suck on android, they have nothing on safari...
 
I also moved to the Atrix from IP3g. I get 2-3x better speedtest results with the Atrix, and it's noticeably faster loading web pages.
 
I have noticed this as well. I conducted speed tests with my Atrix and my wife's iPhone 4. The iPhone blew the Attic out of the water. I dropped the iphone for the Atrix and i gotta say it was a huge mistake. This is my first android device and I am not impressed. Not only is the iphone faster, it is all around a better phone.
