AT&T to Fix iPhone 4 Upload Speed Issues Over Next 2-3 Weeks

The No. 2 U.S. mobile operator said on Monday it had begun rolling out an Alcatel-Lucent software patch that would restore uplink speeds for its high-speed data services that depend on so-called HSUPA technology.
"This patch will be deployed on a phased basis over the next two to three weeks," AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel said.
AT&T, the exclusive U.S. provider for iPhone, said the iPhone 4, the latest Apple device, was the only smartphone that runs on its HSUPA network.

I thought the 3GS is capable of the higher speed network? That was one of the benefits of the 3GS vs the 3G back in June 2009.
Why is the title specific to iPhone4, my 3GS sees (If I am lucky) 20-30k a second upload speeds in Columbus.
Because the issue apparently had to do with the HSUPA network hardware. The iPhone 3GS is not capable of HSUPA.
HSPUA is Upload I guess.
Either way the speed of AT&T's network here in Columbus is bad, I usually only see 2-300k download and 20-30k Upload, on a 3GS.

The 3GS is capable of HSDPA, not HSUPA. It has the faster DOWNload speed, but the same UPload speed.
