Internet browser issue: pages stop rendering halfway

[lipidfats]

Ok this is kind of weird. I've experienced this on both the EVO and Droid Incredible, so I'm thinking it's not device specific or anything like that...

The first few days of browsing the net I've noticed fast and complete page rendering. On both devices after that time period, however, I started experiencing half assed browsing. By this i mean pages will start to render but progress seems to just stop halfway and looks like it's stuck loading. The speedtest app still says i'm getting 800kbps down, so i don't know what's going on... I noticed the data arrows in the notification bar just fade out after the initial boost of page rendering, which kind of explains why the status bar seems to just get stuck halfway. So maybe the data is just transferring in bursts and refuses to reconnect.

Is this normal android behavior? anyone else experience the dramatic performance shift using the browser? I wonder if it's something I downloaded.

edit: attached a pic to show how data just stops and green status bar just sits near the middle. i let it sit there for like 4 minutes and data didn't start up again. Again, this has happened on the incredible and the evo, so i'm thinking it's an android issue or at least android with sense issue.
