AT&T limited upload speeds?

Engadget had an article today about lots of areas having poor AT&T upload speeds around 100kbps. Personally I've been seeing about 140kbps since I got my Nexus One over the weekend. Never any significantly higher. I'm near Baltimore. Download speeds are great at home (2-3Mbps) and marginal at work (around 500kbps or so, but I think that is normal for the location). If this doesn't improve soon, I'm going back to EVO even if the plan is more than I want to pay. Anyone else have AT&T issues? (I know, not too many Android users on AT&T!)
 
Two weeks now... this is getting old. I guess all those iPhone users don't know the difference cause there isn't much ruckus about this.
I still haven't been able to try my N1 yet at full upload speed since this issues started just before I got it.
I'm off contract end of the month and might consider going back to EVO between upload issue and speed of connection at my office. (Only get 300-700kbps there.)

There was a ruckus about it, you just missed it. You must have also missed when AT&T fessed up and pinned the blame on some faulty software written by Alcatel-Lucent. (which provides the equipment for the HSUPA) They were supposed to be reverting to the pre-upgrade settings to restore network speeds, but they must not have done that in your area.
 
Has anyone seen any increase in the upload speeds? I am still only getting maybe 100k down from 1m+ when I had my nexus one. I thought by now I would see some increases in michigan. Talked to att again they act like they don't know anything.
 
I guess technically they are still within that few weeks time frame to apply the fix everywhere. I saw speeds get fixed at home about the end of July or very early August but it was another week or so before they improved where I work, so it is slowly rolling out. Have you had a chance to try your phone in different areas lately? Even just in a different town? Also 100k up is not unreasonable if the signal is weak or the network is congested, but should be better under good conditions.
