Two weeks ago, a thread poster in Mpls had significanly higher upload speeds and asked if others did. I did as well.

Today, download is 1.23 Mbps and upload is 0.06 Mbps.
 
Las Vegas FAIL

This might explain why I virtually had no service in Las Vegas this past week. In order to do upload or download anything, I had to turn off 3G and resort to Edge. I was beginning to think I had a faulty iPhone 4, but I guess I should have realized AT&T was to blame. Occam's razor.

Also, I just ran a test in downtown Washington DC with "5 bars" of 3G. The results were pathetic: 106 kbps download, 46 kbps upload.
 
Sounds like AT&T had some holiday fireworks in their network hardware.

Once again I am glad to live in a medium-sized city, and not one of the big AT&T bottleneck zones!
 
It is sad, for me, to see people complaining when their speeds are still 2x-10x faster or more than what I usually get from home!

52 down, 44 up today!
 
Uploading pics and video is not uncommon.

People found this out after the 4th when aforementioned pic and videos taken during the holiday took forever, where previously they had taken very little time at all.

HSUPA is a feature for the phone. While you and I may not use it a lot, others do and are right to complain.


I guess that's a good point... A lot people are probably uploading video... It is unfortunate that that is overloading the network, as most of them probably don't realize they video they are uploading is not uploading in HD format...

Bottom line is AT&T is not equipped to handle the traffic all the handsets they sell are going to use up.

I just wish I had another option in my city (Anchorage)
 
Dallas area just now. IP4 on 3G:

I'm in Boston and not experiencing the issue (as of 5 minutes ago).

I'm in the Washington DC Metro Area and I've been getting upload speeds around 90kbps

Double-plus ironic even.

(For those of you wondering about this, this issue has been a hot topic on the iPhone forums *here* on MacRumors, but even so, Gizmodo beat MacRumors to the punch in "publishing" the story.)

Damn, I wish Engadget had picked this up, or anyone other than Jizzmodo...

I sent two 'tips' to engadget over the weekend linking them to the giant thread here and on the apple support forums.

Boy Genius beat everyone ....http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/07/02/apple-iphone-4-plagued-by-3g-data-connectivity-issues/
 
1.1 mbit down, 1.2 mbit up yesterday, in orange county, california.

Seems like more a holiday surge in bandwidth than AT&T capping things.
 
I think AT&T is doing this as a service to everyone who doesn't want to see stupid videos of your kid watching fireworks, or stupid videos of you being drunk in front of fireworks, or just stupid videos of your local fireworks. Maybe they've realized facebook is truly the worst thing to come from the me-first generation, and they've attempted to temporarily delay all these videos for a couple of days, at which point no one will want to see them because they happened like 5 days ago and people only care about what each other are doing right this very minute.

/90% sarcasm
 
According to my Speedtest history I have NEVER gotten more than 250kbps up. This is in Northern NJ.
 
Well I'm just getting crap speeds all around now. 160 kbps down and 60 up. Last week I was getting about 100 kbps down and 2 Mbps up (???) All in the same places I used to get 3,000 Mbps down with my 3GS.... 3G has become useless for me since I got my iP4. What's going on Apple/AT&T??? :mad:
 
Customer in San Antonio here. Upload is fine. 1.25Mbps upload, and around 3Mbps download (at work, higher speeds at home).
 
1175 kbps down and 161 kbps up here on AT&T 3G in southwest Florida. I've run a couple of tests against different servers and get varying download speeds, but about the same upload.

That said, the fastest upload speed I ever recorded in this area was 235 kbps...it's never been all that great.
 
No problems for me...

8.77Mbps download and 4.84Mbps upload speed

I am in San Diego area...
 
Fortunately, all seems fine in Atlanta area. I'm getting 1.14 Mbps down and .63 Mbps up.

That's the problem. I went from 1.6Mbps up to .18Mbps up. Even .63 is much lower than I had gotten up until July 2. And early on I was consistently getting 2.5 - 4.0Mbps down. This speed has been consistently lowering since June 27. I blame everyone else getting iPhone 4's. When it was only a select few it was great. Now that more and more people are getting them it's harshing my bandwidth buzz.

FWIW, this is in Salt Lake City.
