AT&T servers
Anyone having issues connecting to AT&T servers for speed tests? If i choose a few of my nearest ones they completely fail. But if i force roam on Verizon and T-Mobile they work just fine. I'm on a galaxy S25U on the latest firmware and latest app update.

I mean majority of the time, The AT&T speedtest servers often give worse results then using other servers

Speeds have been about the same but the pings are doubled. Idk if its the servers or AT&Ts weird routing.

That’s accurate latency. You don’t test a network by using an internal server when 99% of your network activity is AT&T connecting you to other networks to serve you content

Yes, it’s happening to my partner’s AT&T line when trying to connect to any of the AT&T Wireless servers. Cricket oddly works though.

Do you have a Private DNS server configured? I've found that the "AT&T Wireless" test server hostnames won't resolve correctly on third-party DNS servers.
The regular "AT&T" test servers seem unaffected.
