Yes, don't think it is a SIM issue as mine was working prior to upgrading to 6.1
Check out the apple discussion forum, it's a firmware issue.

Finally, they heard us!.. The 3G connectivity bug is there.. Check this out!!.. It already reached the hands of Apple Team..

From that article, it is mentioned that the 3G bug is affecting the 4S.
"European Carriers Warn iPhone 4S Users Against iOS 6.1, Requests Not To Upgrade"

Ironically, it is not the 4S which is the main concern here but rather the IP5. My wife's 4S is working fine since the day I got it upgraded to 6.1
The 3G signal couldn't be more stronger.
On the other hand, The 3G on my IP5 keeps playing peekaboo with me since I upgrade it to 6.1

Apple needs to address this bug for the Iphone 5 asap. Period.

Just look it up. Good to know that 6.1.1 is still jail break friendly

I updated to 6.1.2 from the 6.0.2 SEED set that i just got.
It's the software i can confirm because prior to updating as i mentioned above, I can get good signals, and able to detect 3G immediately. After updating, shit comes back. fuk.

The best way now is to switch from auto mode to manual mode when finding ur telco. Do note that this doesnt enhance 3G connection it only increases the possibility to detect 3G after turning on and off the airplane mode.

Lastly, I reconfirmed with the maxis guy again and he said to me that the problems current network problems iPhone 5 users are facing now is also partly maxis's fault as they are consistently having problems with iPhone 5's network. Other telcos work as well. he summed up to me:
50% maxis problem, 50% iOS update.

Ha.
6.0.x no such 3G crappy problem. Only 6.1.x have this 5#!+
You should stick with the older firmware.

I'm kinda surprised that the refurbished set is having the ios 6.0.x still
