Apparently they finally got the clue. On Wednesday, AT&T came out of the woodwork to officially acknowledge the issue of slow upload speeds for some iPhone 4 users. It's being blamed on a software defect, according to AppleInsider.
"AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent jointly identified a software defect -- triggered under certain conditions - that impacted uplink performance for Laptop Connect and smartphone customers using 3G HSUPA-capable wireless devices in markets with Alcatel-Lucent equipment," the company mentioned in their statement.
"This impacts less than two percent of our wireless customer base. While Alcatel-Lucent develops the appropriate software fix, we are providing normal 3G uplink speeds and consistent performance for affected customers with HSUPA-capable devices."

my upload speeds have been horrible, according to speedtest app (shown in Mbps).

.09Download has varied, but seemed to be better when I reset the network settings (this clears any wifi passwords), but varies depending on my signal as well, of course. The upload speeds are slightly better in the better download signal areas, but not much. I'm in the DC area, so should be doing well both ways but doesn't seem so.
At least there's wifi around.
