I was in another part of Seattle earlier today with my iPhone 4S and iPad (3) both on AT&T. My iPad (LTE) got a whopping 55 Mbps down and 19 Mbps up. In the same spot, my iPhone 4S got 2.7 Mbps down and 0.98 Mbps up.

I was getting those speeds over WiFi (and Comcast) for a while, but lately, the speeds have dropped into the 7 (or less) Mbps range.
