Help Data connection slows to a crawl/drops - requires reset via flight mode

Hello I am experiencing issues with the data connection.

I am on 3 UK (ICS) and use the phone a lot for wifi tethering.

The problem is the data connection which seems to gradually get slower until it just doesnt load any more pages.

Upon turning flight mode on and then off, the pages immediately load very quickly and everything is good again .. for a short while, until the problem re-occurs.

Has anyone experienced these issues and is there a fix for it yet?

Thank you.

I was under the impression that Three didn't allow WiFi tethering and they block or throttle any connection.

There are a few posts on XDA about changing the APN that it uses.
