Appleinsider: “AT&T announced Wednesday a more than 20 percent increase to
the typical download speeds across its 3G wireless network and a 50
percent increase to typical upload speeds.
The mobile operator and exclusive provider for Apple’s iPhone in the US
said the upgrades are results of recent network enhancements, including
the deployment of High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) technology
across all existing 3G markets that is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
Customers on the network should now achieved download speeds between
700 Kbps (kilobits per second) and 1.7 Mbps (megabits per second), up
from 600 Kbps to 1.4 Mbps. Meanwhile, upload speeds should jump to the
500 Kbps – 1.2 Mbps range, up from 500 to 800 Kbps.”
