Has AT&T fixed HSUPA upload speeds in your area?

A bunch of readers are telling us AT&T and Alcatel Lucent have fixed the issues with HSUPA (high speed uploads) and their iPhone 4's a positively racing up the information superhighway again. Not everyone in every place seems so lucky, however, as our good friend @TCPJ_Mickey, still seems to be chugging along sub-100 in Arizona.

You know what this means, right? Speed test!

We use speedtest.net's app [iTunes link] but whatever your choice of measure, post where you are and what your upload speeds look like today and we'll see if we can figure out if AT&T really is giving more Mbps in more places.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in, sorry to Mickey!]

    @ S. Casey... yeah, nobody cares about your wifi result... this is all about 3G speeds

    Download 3450 kbps / 3.37 Mbps / 431.2 kB/s Upload 281 kbps / 0.27 Mbps / 35.1 kB/s

    I'm in Buffalo NY

    Test Date: Jul 26, 2010 7:02:20 AM Connection Type: Cellular

    Download: 1532 kbps Upload: 96 kbps Ping: 3079 ms

    So, that would be a 'No' I guess. Still haven't dropped a call yet though! And, I have Wi-fi.

  3. Michael says:

    NOT fixed yet in Minneapolis - still sub 100 results.

  4. Shwa says:

    Thats in Pittsburgh, So I'm guessiong no here too.

  6. hopper says:

    No fix here in Princeton, NJ.... 585 down, 63 up with 4 bars.

  7. Dyvim says:

    No fix in northern VA near DC (<100 kbps up). Bastages. When I first got my iPhone 4 it was about 10x faster.

  8. Frank says:

    Got even worse here on Long Island, NY.

    full 3G bars gave me 239kbps down, 46kbps up, with a ping of 531ms.

  9. Sebastian says:

    Download: 2702kbps / Upload: 283bps / Ping: 426ms

    Atlanta, GA (30318)

    Upload should be better, but it is a good increase compared to just 2 weeks ago, when it was around 100 and there was a huge diff. between here and my home even (3 miles from work). So the problem was not everywhere the same

  10. Kanos says:

    Around Washington D.C. upload speeds still not working right, only 97 kbps :( Download is good though at 2285 kbps. Not sure what is going on with the upload speeds though, not acceptable though!!!

  11. Lance says:

    Dallas

    Upload - 2010 kbps

    Download - 1268 kbps

    iPhone 4

  12. Knox says:

    Download 1919 Kb/s, upload 177 Kb/s, ping 352 milliseconds. And, right now I am out in the boondocks. Oh, BTW, I almost never get a dropped call on my iPhone. I would have to think of when it last happened - months ago.

  13. Joe says:

    Still crap in Denver, CO on an iPhone 4.

    Test 1 - 542kbps down, 45kbps up Test 2 - 1345kbps down, 62kbps up Test 3 - 971kbps down, 65kbps up

    I live in Puerto Rico and the latest 3G speed test I did these were the results ... 3021 kbps download and 1368 kbps upload. I've been in several U.S. states and truly here in Puerto Rico have much better service from AT & T, much better data signal and moves really well.

  17. Chippy19977 says:

    You completed certain nice points there. I did a search on the topic and found a good number of persons will agree with your blog.

  20. Mak says:
