AT &T Data speed by location:
Phone HTC ONE x
Test: Speedtest
10/10/12 Manchester Connecticut: 1.84 mbs up, .40mbs down.
10/1/12 Indianopolis IN: 8.92mbs up, 6.62 mbs down
10/1/12 Charlotte NC: 14.77mbs up, 7.80mbs down.
9/30/12 Augusta GA: 14.57mbs up, 11.30 mbs down.
9/27/12 Atlanta Ga: 4.68mbs up, 9.73 mbs down
9/23/12 Sioux IA: 2.77mbs up. 1.01mbs down.
9/23/12 St Paul MN: 54.12mbs up. 16.42mbs down.
I will continue this as i go...i plan to recheck that over the top ST Paul speed next week from out in the city and the week after that i should have various results from all over Los Angeles to report.
So far from that i am seeing, the Verizon advertising depicting AT&T as having poor data speeds are way off. Look at the Augusta GA (might as well call it "BFE" speeds!!).
Mods please delete: This should have gone in the technology forum

I downloaded 4 full albums on MOG from charlotte in about 5 minutes last week..... Pretty snappy and pages load quickly also. However on the "OTHER" side of Augusta i get a very poor 3g signal and right now in MN down town im not getting any where near those LTE speeds.

I picked up an iPhone 5 and smoked through the 5gb limit in two days and was throttled and the phone was pretty much useless and my next billing cycle for the reset isn't for three weeks and I begged and even offered to pay and they won't release it.
My undoing was Spotify. When I moved to the new phone I had a bunch of music and I set it all to sync for offline use and didn't realize that I had it in HQ mode and didn't realize that it kept syncing after I left wifi. Both settings that could be adjusted and I missed, but cooked my 5gb limit in two days. Ugh.

11/07/12 Frederick, MD (north of DC): 0.746mps up, 1.051mps down
AT&T has pretty good data coverage in the Baltimore area, but when I get out to Frederick, it stinks.
By the way - How are you getting upload speeds so much higher than your download speeds? I've never seen any kind of internet commection, be it dial-up, wireless, cable, DSL, or even wi-fi, that had higher upload speeds than download speeds.

As far as LTE goes, I haven't read about the speed comparisons between AT&T and Verizon. What Verizon is claiming is that essentially their entire US network is LTE-capable as of now, whereas with AT&T, it's only available in limited areas. If you happen to be in an area that supports AT&T LTE, then it probably doesn't matter. In other areas, Verizon has an advantage if you have an LTE device (at least until AT&T upgrades that area).
