Greg, I've been having the same problem with my new Droid on Verizon. I was very disappointed with the browsing capaabilities this fall after I got it.
Yesterday I happened to talk to a cell phone salesman from another company and I mentioned this problem to him. He wouldn't touch my phone but he told me what to look for. Your phone is probably 4G and it is probably set on 'global' which means it looks primarily for 4G even when you're in 3G territory. He suggested I change it to LTE/CDMA.
This is how he got me there, and I'm doing this on my droid as I talk cause it's the only way I can walk you through it.
1.When you are looking at the home screen, touch the Apps button in the lower center of the screen.
2.When you do that you'll get a whole three pages of apps. Scroll through the pages until you find settings. My phone scrolls sideways and the settings icon is on the third page as you scroll to the left.
3.Touch settings and you will have a screen with Airplane mode, Wi-Fi, etc. The sixth choice down from the top is MORE.
4.Touch MORE and you will have a page with the choice of VPN or Mobile Networks.
5.Touch Mobile networks.
6. Now you have a page that says Set up data service, data enaabled, etc. touch NETWORK MODE.
7. Now your choices are Global, LTE/CDMA, or GSM/UMTS. The phone is probably set on Global. If it is, touch the circle behind LTE/CDMA.
When you touch the circle the screen will return you to the previous page. Touch Network Mode again to get you back to where you were to re-check what you did. the LTE/CDMA circle should be lit up.
I did some browsing after that in the town I was in and the browser seemed to come up quickly every time, but I haven't tried it in a variety of locations yet. Good luck. If you have trouble give a shout. Jim

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
