Check your energy saving mode under 'displays', and the always connected button.
energy saving off
always connected on
..gives best results for staying connected
When I put energy savings on, I don't get internet for the first 10 minutes of every drive.
I resist the instinct to reboot while internet is not happening, that seems to just prolong lack of connectivity.
Visualize this: the 3G connection system is run by an old man sitting in a room with a rolodex who has to find out if you're a good paying customer first, each time you try to connect. If you're good he flicks on the internet switch for you at AT&T. If you're in Canada, like me, there's another old man at mission command center of the roaming partner network who makes a long distance phone call (yes, black rotary dial phone) to the man in USA with the rolodex. IF they agree, they make a border connection for internet. And only then do my maps start to fill in the checker board pattern of missing tiles. Sometimes, the old men chat for a while and forget to flick on the switches until after they hang up.
Also, they keep 3G speeds down on purpose, so a fleet of people with good vision sitting at mission command can watch what is flowing to each and every car to make sure it's on the up and up. It's an early form of deep packet inspection.
I'm happy to be providing this employment to several people, who would otherwise be out of a job.
