A increasing number of people are reporting that their iPhone 4 upload speeds have dropped to around 100 kb/s, according to a MacRumors report.
Users in several dozen metro areas scattered across the country, including Boston, New York City, Washington DC, Houston, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Seattle among others, have reported the issue. The issue does not appear to be nationwide, however, as users in a number of locations including Atlanta, Richmond, and Raleigh, as well as some customers even in markets where other users are affected, are not experiencing slow upload speeds.
A few users have been told that AT&T is experiencing data issues throughout the country so perhaps the company is limiting uploads until those issues are resolved.
i'm not saying it's _fair_ or _right_ but they don't have a choice (at least until they've finished their network upgrades [such as new york])... if they don't cap the speeds they will have even more angry customers (as some customers will have substantially worse speeds than even the capped speeds as the network runs out of bandwidth). Not to mention the other load of problems that running at full capacity would cause (delayed or missed text messages, completely screwed up visual voicemail, etc.)
Additionally, as they roll our their tethering plans, they do not want "bandwidth hogging" going on as people are downloading files and other high-intensive usage that happens more commonly with a computer.
Yes, in columbus ohio the upload speed 63K while the download is 1086K. They already put a consumption limit and bandwidth now. It makes me thing about returning my phone before the 30 days.
Definitely in Denver Metro area this has occurred for me: on Jul 2 Speedtest reported Upload speed of over 500 Kbits/s twice, and Download over 3000 Kbits/sec.
Today, Upload speed only 195 Kbits/s, Download 2841 Kbits/s.
