Capped in DC but also on AT&T's 3G Microcell
In DC and close-by suburbs like Bethesda in MD, my upload speeds range from 0 KBPS to 98 KBPS (the latter in MD). However, in my home, my download and upload speeds are absurdly low. SO, I actually paid for an AT&T 3G Microcell for my home since AT&T didn't seem receptive towards giving me one. Upload speeds ARE capped in the 50's. 56 or 57 KBPS (confirmed on an AT&T bulletin board). Download speeds are reasonable with the 3G Microcell (around what most of you show 1500 or 2500 within close range of the 3G Microcell) but if I move beyond 35 feet I'm back on 3G and periodically on Edge or getting "no service." In other words, yes outside speeds in DC are capped and FYI on the Microcell, they're really capped never going about 57.
