If that's true then why are 3GS phones affected?
more AT&T lies? Is AT&T saying that all their 3G/3GS and iPhone 4 customers make up less than 2% of their customers?
Is that the same 2% that use more than 2GB of data.. hmmmm

"...another factor is the new HSUPA support in iPhone 4."
Weird, when I use the speedtest.net and FCC apps, I get 96k upload readings. When I use Xtreme Labs Speedtest app, I get 244k. I'm not sure why they're different... I wonder if anyone else is having the same experience.
speedtest.net has always given me slower readings
the numbers take into account the internet and server speed as well. it's not raw speed. speedtest.net probably has slow over taxed servers for this
Me too.

If you look at that post I'm still getting "real world" upload speeds around 275Kbps. I don't understand why SpeedTest.net tests are so consistently 100Kbps.
UPDATE:
AT&T is trying to spin this, when in actuality, we may be in for a longer wait than expected:
Alcatel-Lucent is developing a longer-term software fix in the coming weeks, but in the meantime we have implemented an alternative that provides normal 3G uplink speeds and consistent performance for affected customers using HSUPA-capable devices.
WEEKS????? You've got to be kidding me! When they say "normal", what they really mean is "you'll just have to deal with 100 kbps uploads for a few weeks until we get around to fixing it".

Wired also mentions a "temporary fix" stating that upload speeds are back to "normal". But that's juts BS because 100 kbps is not "normal" 3G upload speeds even without HSUPA.

Are you guys satisfied with this response from AT&T? I mean, seriously, we were all getting 1600 kbps uploads until the beginning of July and all of a sudden a "software bug" is now preventing us from going over 100? Can't they just revert the software back to what it was before the speeds dropped on July 2?
WEEKS to fix something that was working just fine from 6/24 - 7/2? Spells rotten to me.
...but in the meantime we have implemented an alternative that provides normal 3G uplink speeds and consistent performance for affected customers using HSUPA-capable devices.
They have done NO such thing, at least in my area! Have any of you guys who have been experiencing the issue seen any change in upload speeds? Because 100 kbps upload is basically Edge speed, not 3G. If they have an "alternative" fix that provides normal 3G uploads, then we should be seeing around 300 kbps, which is what I used to get on my 3GS and iPad before this issue popped up. Now both my iPhone 4 and iPad are stuck at 100 or less.

Denver is still 60kbit/sec uploads verified by speedtest.net and dslreports speedtest.
Same case in Phoenix, I am not getting more than 70.
Though I've generally been happy with AT&T, I'm getting here too on this.
Also, what's wrong with f/cking goats?
Still having slow uploads and sub-par download speeds out in Queens/Long Island in New York...
They really need to get working on this. The first day I got my iphone I was getting 4 down and 1.4 up. For the past few days it's been ~2 down and 0.2 up. Really really annoying.

Here to comfirm that we in NYC do NOT have 3G upload speeds that AT&T claims that is providing to the customerswhile the fix is in the works.
WE STILL GET ODD CAP AT NUMBER 100kbps WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT EVEN HALF OF WHAT 3G UPLOAD SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
sorry for shouting. It's still very clear that the upload instead of being limited by 3G standard at 384kbps is still limited by human cause at 100kbps.
I used to get more than 300kbps on my old iPhone 3G, two years ago.
On a sidenote, I wouldn't trust extreme labs test, it's always been giving me jacked up results even when testing my own WiFi i would get more than what my connection's limit is.
Use speedtest.net or FCC Mobile Broadband Test.

AT&T said they are providing the uploads speeds for customers, however because of server problems, you won't see it. In other words, no capping so capping theorist can calm down.
Me, I can see the uploads. Also, more evidence AT&T is doing what they say is that we have reports of people in affected cities reporting back their usual upload speeds.
Oh so that gives AT&T credentials to provide 100kbps to us. So they can keep selling us bottled air... That's not what they said. They said while the solution is in the making, they will be providing 3G speeds to the affected customers.
AT&T lawyers or executives would love to take notes from you for the next excuse. Makes me think that some macforum members are not the actual customers. lol
