Greater problems than upload drops
The only thing I have seen as far as service since iPhone 4 was released is "Searching" and one bar. uploads are the least of my issues with this crap ATT service.
I have a 6 day old new born and no service. thankfully there is skype call for 30$ a year.
Can't wait for verizon.

Huge, huge drop in speed:

I called AT&T - You should call too!
This is getting pathetic. After 9 days of 100 kbps uploads, I called AT&T to see when this is going to be fixed. Afterall I used to get 350kbps consistently on my 3GS!! I was getting 1,600kbps on my iPhone 4 before this started (SEATTLE AREA). The customer service rep hadnt heard anything about the alleged Alcatel Lucent HSUPA bug. He sent a "signal boost" and I rebooted my phone, which unsuprisingly changed nothing. I had already reset my network settings and reset ALL settings a few times to try and fix it myself. I was then sent to a tech and the tech hadnt heard anything about the issue either. I told her to google it and you can find dozens of references to the AT&T press release about the Alcatel Lucent HSUPA bug. She issued a "ticket" and they are going to "look into it". I want to encourage other affected iPhone users to call as well so maybe it will be fixed.

AT&T seems to have fixed the problem here, I just did a speed test in the same location where I was getting 10KB/s before, and got 500 KB/s down and 200 KB/s up.
Just Returned
Just returned to work after a long vacation and noticed this issue today. I work in a building for a company that wired up for AT&T specifically. I'm not sure it's the consumer grade MicroCell that we use or if there's a business MicroCell that was installed, but upload speeds went from 1400 to 65. I restarted my iPhone and got 350 right after restart, but right after that it went back to the 50s.

Minneapolis Upload speed increase 8/2/10
Today, I'm getting consistent 300K upload speeds in downtown minneapolis. I've seen a high of 900kbps (and a low of zero)
And 3 bars on my iPhone 4 (4.0.1 bar measures).
Downside... I'm only getting 1500-250Kbps download speeds... I get 1 Mbit plus at home 5 miles away.
