I've noticed a significant increase in global warnings since the new iPad was released.

NewForce said:@f4780y: Yes, we're having the same issue across Singapore, now it's across worldwide.
In my good old iPad2 64GB 3G+WiFi days, I did not suffer this problem. I left both WiFi and 3G connection on 24/7 during my time with iPad2 for more than 5 months. Both networks connection are able to auto switching seamlessly at any go out, go work, go home, go underpass, go subway ocassion without a single hiccup. Not so with the "new iPad" as it requiring a DAILY 3~5 time reboot when 3G data could not be activated before my ISP resetting my iPad data line in their network. Now it happened once daily or in the next day.
@AQ_OC, I've believed someone on Verizon & AT&T are having the same issue like my mentioning.
Quite a strong powerful posting, message wise, for your very 1st post. ;-)
I've had no issues at all when using 3G so far, though I believe 3 or 4 other forum members have mentioned problems when using their 3G connection.
Not sure how many of the other 3.5 million new iPad3 owners have experienced similiar issues. ;-) Though not all will have or be using 3/4G of course. So, based on a handful of users with this problem, and little feedback so far from the other 3 million+ I think it may be a bit premature to begin calling it a 'GLOBAL' issue for everyone.. well it can't be 'ALL' as mine, and my youngest sons new iPad3 would have the same problem.
So that's 2 I know of that are working okay...lol.. unless it's something lurking inside waiting to happen, certainly hope not, though as more and more users get round to using their 3G we may get more. It's certainly early days yet to form anything definitive. Lets hope it's just a few thats affected. It may also be the network provider itself that may be causing the odd problem.. so that also needs to be diagnostically eliminated.
As the previous poster stated, simply return it and get it replaced.. but I think I would be trying another 3G Network provider first.

It is working great now. We don't have 4G anywhere around here, just 3G. Again a Verizon issue. I traveled to Virginia recently and turned off the LTE, uses too much data! Very nice to be able to switch to the slower speed!!!! I do the pay as you go feature instead of a subscription. There is so much WiFi available.....why pay for cellular on a subscription basis??????
Don't believe the connection issues is an Apple issue, the technician seemed to indicate Verizon was not prepared for the IPad. Verizon dropped the ball.....
