At&t HSPA+ or iPhone 4 reception

[mtbenti]

Hey everyone, I live in northern New Jersey about 15-20 minutes outside of NYC.
Recently I've been doing a lot of speed tests from the speedtest.net app, and I would usually get 1.5 mbps download and only like 100 kbps upload, but today after getting the iPhone 4 I started doing tests in the same area as last night & now it's consistently 3.5 mbps download and 1.2 mbps upload.

So I was wondering could this be At&t rolling out hspa+ or is the iPhone that much better at grabbing a signal?

If it were real HSPA+ it could be 5mbps+...
3.5mbps is more like regular 3G when properly implemented.

I hope AT&T isn't implementing HSPA+, they should skip it and just implement a solid LTE network for the 2011 iPhone launch. The sooner we get LTE started, the better.

Well, good to hear at least one person's reception has actually improved.

I'm there with ya. Yeah, 3.5mbps and over 1 mbps upload. In louisville, ky today. Pretty awesome. Noticeable difference loading pages or app store from 3GS.

My download speeds are roughly the same. 1.5-2.4 down, however my uploads increased dramatically. Now I upload around 1.2 instead of .24 or so.
