No, Lucent was spun off of AT&T during de-regulation. Alcatel is a French company that bought Lucent and Avaya (A Lucent spin off) a few years back.
Still, anybody want to explain to me how software from an unrelated French company uninvolved with the hardware is mystically and perfectly capping bandwidth in areas where AT&T just happens to have high population densities and under built networks?

It's easy to blame on something that's longer there, duh. All of those finger pointing is getting ridiculous.

AT&T invests money to upgrade infrastructure to allow for additional growth and revenue. AT&T sells services to users to generate revenue. When growth exceeds capacity, AT&T generates excessive revenue as level the of service degrades. The cell phone industry often forces you to sign a long-term contract. This provides constant source of revenue for the cell phone company. The cell phone industry has early termination fee to increase the cost for user to change providers. The cell phone industry forces you to purchase a restricted phone to increase the cost for user to change providers. This is good for cell phone company but not good for users.

If the other 98% uses are employing the same software why aren't they having problems?

Or is it that they aren't using that software?
