Yeah, more like OMG WTF BBQ network MAINTANENCE. Now, I wodner why all the other markets still have those uploads as high as they do.
If U.S. is one big region, then it is regional. Those cities that are not affected are in minority. Sorry.
So I am guessing all the south, california, and other central cities are considered minority? Wow.... that's a new one.
West Houston? Seriosuly? What about the other half, the East? Has it occurred it's temp thign?
no issues in Burlington, VT - 1.7 down, 1.2 up. AT&T's pretty great up here.
EDIT - woah, sorry, massive full res picture, took it away for the sake of the page.

I first noticed caps in Oklahoma back in February with my 3G (and tethering with old tree wm phone). On order of consistent 56-58 kbs. Still that way today with iPad, though download has improved to around 2mbs. On trip to upstate ny, speeds up to 400kbs measured. So figured market limitations. Is it to discourage voip?
Glad you brought it up. But let's contain the outrage until we get a firm explanation. The story is getting traction now in financial sites (see below) and so I would expect the company to have a proper statement soon, if the issue does not go away sooner.

It seems like they went back up in Boston
Lucky, still down in NYC/Soho. Getting 2113/93
Ah!
So the issue is related to a network problem and not some nefarious plan to keep people from using their devices. Not really news but apparently so widespread that it caused major issues for most - mine was so low as to be close to dial-up speed. Luckily on corporate wireless where I am.

No, because I can also say I have inside source, and that doesn't make it true.

This thread has proven how visitors of forums, while great at discovering nuances in gadget performance, tend to overreact at the slightest deviation from the mean. Whether its antenna/grip issues, yellow spots or network speeds.
