Hi, I have Cricket's 500MB plan on my iPhone 5. They throttle after you have used up your 500MB of data and slow you down. I used up all my high speed data for this month and I wanted to see how fast my throttled speeds were, so I did a speed test on the speediest.net app. I keep getting .10-.17Mbps down and 5-10Mbps up. Is there a bug that is giving me unlimited upload?

Sorry if this has nothing to do with the iPhone.

Carriers don't care about upload speeds because 99% of the data used by any user is Download as its the data received while searching, watching, reading anything on the device, as that is why they also don't concentrate on improving upload speeds on networks....another reason why we see 5x higher download speeds vs upload speeds.
