AT&T has provided an update on an issue its data network is experiencing in some portions of the country. A software problem originating in some Alcatel-Lucent equipment was limiting network upload speeds to less than 100Kbps. Alcatel-Lucent has developed a software patch to fix the problem. According to AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel, "This patch will be deployed on a phased basis over the next two to three weeks." Phone Scoop has confirmed that in the metropolitan NYC area, data speeds have indeed improved from less than 90Kbps to greater than 800Kbps.

So let me get this straight...

... a software update will fix upload speeds?

Is that like the software update that "fixes" the iPhone's antenna issue??

All you naysayers....

Do realize that this is a device/software issue and has even been confirmed by the manufacturer?
The customer doesn't have to care or even have to get it right. They don't even have to apologize if they get things wrong.

Business is tough.
