AT&T has explained the slow upload speeds that customers have been experiencing while using HSUPA-enabled devices. AT&T reps tell PhoneScoop that a software defect in equipment provided by Alcatel-Lucent is causing problems for less than two percent of AT&T's users. Alcatel-Lucent is still working on a fix, and until then these customers will experience normal 3G uplink speeds.

Is a software bug really so implausible that it has to be attributed to some kind of conspiracy or cover up?

Companies send out bad software updates ...

Percentages

Does "less than two percent of AT&T's users" include those that don't have HSUPA-enabled devices? I'm sorry AT&T, but those 98% of users not trying to upload anything don't care. I guess that's better PR than saying a 100%(?) of HSUPA-enabled device users (the one's that do care about this issue) are affected.
