AT&T Not Choking Upload Speeds After All
(Image courtesy of brandchannel.com)
Earlier today, we brought it to you that some users were reporting troubles on upload speeds with their iPhone 4s. Well, as it turns out, AT&T wasn't putting their own "death grip" on data (at least more so anyway), and instead it was a hiccup with some HSUPA areas, according to AppleInsider.
Reported upload speeds around the country had been at about 100Kbps, which was way down from what the HSPA-capable iPhone 4 can pull off. The highest affected areas were the major metro areas such as New York, and Los Angeles.
Of course first guess was AT&T's doing, but as it turns out, it was caused by an unintentional glitch related to High-Speed Uplink Packet Access in some parts of the United States. If it's working properly, HSUPA can grant uplink speeds of about 5.76Mbit/s.
A fix may be on the way, but AT&T was unwilling to comment Tuesday evening.
