For AT&T Broadband users

Hi,

I had experienced a considerable increase in my upload speed over the last couple days. (from 14kbps to 28kbps) The upload speed, however, reduced to 18kbps tonight.. I was wondering if this is because of the normal nine o'clock traffic or has AT&T reduced the cap once again? ppl living in the midwest.. pls let me know of your upsteam speed.

Welcome to Speed Guide. I think it's a little of both. I've noticed my cap (depending on the day of the week) go from 125 to 265. I think ATTBI is playing with some settings... finding the right balance before they set it in stone.

In addition... lots of user activity as of late that affects speeds.

I've been on AT&T for i don't know 2yrs or so now and my upload has been steady at around 285. I have heard that they are instituting a across the board 256 upload cap so that sucks for me. I live in OH by the by.

i live in massachusetts, and I've had AT&T for about 4 - 5 years now, i love it, so reliable, doesn't go down at all if any. It only was screwy for a week once cause they were switching servers or something or fixing them. Anyways, my caps are 1500/300, but i usually get around 292 kbits on the upload which is still pretty good. I would really be annoyed if they reduced that, cause i'm a big fan of P2P transfering of data and that would slow me down considerably. I hope they offer tiered services soon, i wann purchase the 384 or 512 kbit upload cap for a little more money/month. Anyways, i haven't noticed any change in my upload speeds at all lately but i'll make sure of it.
