AT&T blames software for “capped” upload speeds

Yesterday, complaints began surfacing online that AT&T was “capping” upload speeds for iPhone 4 users, slowing upstream bandwidth to a crawl in Metropolitan areas such as New York City and Boston.

Today, the wireless carrier has blamed software from Alcatel-Lucent for the issues, saying a fix is in the works.

Additionally, the company says only 2 percent of users are affected by the defect.

Lucent declined to offer a timetable for the fix, and would not reveal which areas were being affected.

Customer complaints have been filed from NYC, Central Jersey, Boston, Orlando, Seattle, South Jersey/Philly, Columbus, Cleveland, West Houston, Phoenix, Northern Colorado, St. Paul/Minesota, Suffolk County/Long Island, Quad Cities, South Jersey, Denver, Detroit Metro, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Fairfax, and Minneapolis, so far.
