Default Inconsistent data connection

HI folks, i'm not sure if this is a well known problem or not, but i thought i'd give it a try. Ok the basics of the problem are that i can be on my mobile browser or any app and you can see the upload and download indicator arrows in the taskbar working away just fine, then randomly, even if the signal strength stays the same, i will lose the download arrow, and the upload arrow will stay on. At this point I cannot access the internet at all and sometimes this does not start working again until i reboot, and sometimes not even then!! This has happened With my last 4 phones (all android) so it seems like either a problem with my sim card, with t-mobiles network, or with android itself. Is anyone else having this problem??

thanks.

4 phones have been G1, Nexus 1, Desire HD and LG Optimus 3D

I dont have such a problem (orange uk). I think that is a problem with your sim card or network provider

This used to happen all the time on my Vibrant here on Tmobile USA. 2.1 eclair was downright awful. CM 7.1 it was better but without Gingerbread drivers i was stuck with the last Froyo baseband. Even then i still frequently had this issue so i mostly used wifi at the house. Areas with stronger signal i rarely noticed this. But ironically i have yet to experience this with my galaxy nexus. Havent needed wifi at the house yet.

My problem seems to be different for the OP's. I lose the network connection totally; I get no data or no calls. Only a reboot can resolve it. I have noticed this with an AT&T SIM card and an H2O Wireless SIM card. IT seems to be the phone, as I don't have problems with the AT&T SIM card in other phones.
