SGS and 3G network: Phone or SIM issue?

I have a 5 month old SGS running stock, unrooted, Froyo 2.2.

Up until yesterday it was working fine here at the office.

Now, while at the office I cannot lock on or maintain a 3G/HSPA mobile network connection.

The odd thing is that if I walk down the street a bit, I can get a lock (may have to cycle packet data option to get it though).

A co-worker with an iPhone that sits one aisle over from me, who is also with the same carrier, has no issues getting a mobile network lock.

I've reseated the sim and external microSD card and there is no change.

It seems to work fine everywhere else I go, just not here at the office.

Any ideas?
