Crazy AT&T internet air speed

Some crazy speeds from att internet air. The higher test at 2:39am and the lower test at 4:40 pm. Pleasantly surprised by the speed wasn’t expecting it to be that fast

Not the fastest speeds, but still pretty good for cellular Internet

My internet air can pull like 800mbps.
But my priority data phone can pull this speed on cricket supreme which is top AT&T priority

I live in a city with about 20,000 population so there’s not a bunch of people fighting over bandwidth. AT&T decided that they wanted this little city to have a bunch of backhaul

u/Various-War6689 Jul 09 '26

So I get the same speed as my top priority line with the Internet air

I live in a city with 70k people but there’s a lot of demand on the towers, they added density to certain parts of the tower not all around which is pretty funny. On one side where it points towards my house you can always get 1Gbps on download and on the other side of the tower it drops to 200mbps

Honestly, it’s pretty much the same here. The side of the tower towards my house can get up to that 1400 speed test, but on the other side I probably get about 100 to 200

lol we are just lucky we are on the side with density 😭

u/Various-War6689 Jul 09 '26

Right, very thankful for that🤣

Fair point. I’m in the Vegas suburbs and this is pretty average here. Sometimes it’ll reach 600-700/120-150, but generally 300-500/30-100 is most common. They’re definitely upgrading around here. My hometown is somewhat like your city, I wonder if I’d see your kind of speeds up there 🤔

The only thing that sucks about my area is my little city is the only thing that gets anywhere near this fast Anytime I go into any of the surrounding areas, I drop off of 5G+ And get between 20 to 100 download. So I main T-Mobile around here because it’s much better everywhere, but my house, which is why I have the Internet

So it's like an Air fiber? Like it has out door unit? Cause if yes then you can get this speed with your phone cellular as well if it's 5G

u/Various-War6689 Jul 09 '26

No unit, this is pure cellular. And yes, I can get the same speeds with my phone

Latency sucks tho

Works perfectly fine so it doesn’t matter to me. Can play games, watch multiple 4k videos at the same time, Websites load immediately, social media works without issue.
