AT&T Blames Alcatel Software Glitch For Slow Data Connections

AT&T (T) says a software glitch in some network equipment supplied by Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) is responsible for slowing the wireless connection speeds of some customers on iPhones and other devices.

The Wall Street Journal notes that the companies say the problem affects less than 2% of AT&T wireless customers, or about 1.75 million people. Alcatel is reportedly working on a fix.

The telco says the issues affects some customers in certain markets who use “Laptop Connect” wireless cards, as well as owners of some smart phones, including the Apple (AAPL) iPhone 4. The company did not say which markets are affected by the issue.
