My Fascinate may be ruined for eternity...

I have a Samsung Fascinate from Verizon Wireless.
Up until two days ago, it used to work perfectly on Android Froyo Superclean 2.8.
I had that ROM for about a year and a half and never thought of updating my OS up until two days ago.
At first, I discovered that I could get Gingerbread for my phone (not a stock version though).
I looked on the internet and I ended up flashing C-Spire Wireless Gingerbread 2.3.6 by accident.
When I finally finished all of the updating on that, I tried to go on the internet but it was not functioning the way it used to.
Most of the time, my phone could not connect to the 3G network, and when it did, it was very slow and disconnected every minute or so.
So, I then flashed the stock version of Gingerbread 2.3.5 for Verizon, but when I finished doing that, I still found that my internet was extremely buggy.
I also tried to install some radios on my phone to see if that helped, but it did not.
Shortly after, I stalled Superclean3 milestone 2 but the internet issue was not solved.
After that, I installed TSM Resurrection 2.2. The internet problems were still there.
Then, I went and installed ICS. Internet was still buggy.
I then got Jelly Bean from Cyanomod. The internet was still the same.
Then I went back to the stock Gingerbread 2.3.5. My internet is still really annoyingly horrible and I don't know what to do.
Any solutions please?

To go back to stock you need to flash the the pit file to repatriation and put everything back in order. Found the forum in fascinate android development about going back to stock Verizon rom. I had a 3g issue when I first flashed AOKP b40. Going back to stock worked perfect to fix data. Then back to ics on AOKP. And if your gonna flash an ics rom make sure you flash THS build 2 first to lay the ground work for the next ics rom of your choice.

Maybe your radio got corrupted somehow? Try flashing a bunch of different ones to see if it helps... all that info is found in droidstyle's guide

edit: Oops sorry, somehow I skimmed over that part saying you already tried different radios. I agree with the above though, go back to stock via droidstyle's guide and see what happens...

I just stumbled across something that may help you... read this and try it out... some people have reported data issues being resolved after doing that update. I've never done it myself, but I think I'm going to start making it a habit
