HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- I want faster internet. Like, always. In this speed showdown, we compare AT&T Internet Air and Verizon 5G Cube to see which one comes out on top. If you're looking for a new home internet option, this comparison video is a must-watch! Whether you're using an iPhone 13 Pro Max or any other device, you'll want to see the results of this showdown.
I begin by unboxing the BRAND NEW Internet Air Hub from AT&T. Does it hold it's own against Verizon 5G, or is it FASTER? We also compare speeds against an iPhone 13 Pro Max on AT&T 5G Cellular Data.
Which 5g Home Router is actually better?

Considering you live in a farm area, 253mbps is damn good. That’s more than enough for the average person. You’re lucky to even get that in a rural area.
I'm definitely grateful to get betting what we have, and off-peak times I'm seeing speeds of about 330Mbps which is pretty great.
@@ConsumerTechJoe are you having any issues lately where the egg goes red instead of green and flashes lte several times but does connect? It used to work okay for several months, but started doing this lately. some sim issue it claims, yet it connects.
At my old house I got 3 Mbps with DSL. That was what advertised it was usually 1/2 that 😢.
Anything above 100mbps is more than enough for casual streaming and internet browsing...unless your downloading and uploading things like 4K videos/movies/video games everyday for a living.
I would recommend testing the AT&T device in different areas of your house and see where the fastest test is. Even if you have to run an Ethernet cable to an AP. It can make a worlds of signal difference when you are closer to a window, and your phone was only getting 250 down and 3 up, so it can't be expected that the AT&T Internet Air device will be much better. Maybe in the most northeast window of your house, you can give that a try.
Ok sounds good!
Another thing is to try rotating the box. The antenna in the ATT box looks like it might partially be blocked by the electronics. Also it would be interesting to compare signal strengths in the 2 boxes. The ATT antenna looks like it might be bigger than the Verizon antenna resulting in a higher signal level. If so, then the Verizon box sacrificed a little speed and signal strength for looks.
Yep try to put it somewhere as high as possible next to a window. Kinda what you do for an indoor tv antenna...
I just got my at&t box , i got some good speeds , 605 download , 100 upload, compared to the verizon home internet , 200 download , 40 upload , both are by the window , it really depends where you live ,
Absolutely and most definitely depends on where you live .. att used to be the worst here where I live we literally only had dsl as an option few years later .. after Verizon @85/monthly shitty boost and mint mobile/tmobile now I have all my Apple devices connected via Apple with way better coverage! Speed varies but my coverage is ridiculous.. my iPad mini cellular is faster than or was faster than my at home internet 🛜 Verizon plus I can take it with me Soo basically long story short.. it depends on your location not the device
Nice, that's fast! How far are you from the tower??
Yeah the speeds vary by location, network traffic, distance from the tower, and other factors.
For better upload speeds, put the AT&T box facing a window and using the tower aligner in the app to get the best result
I do plan to try this out soon when I have time. I'm still hung on whether it's a connection issue, or if the bottleneck is at the actual tower itself.
Which of the two do you prefer using, after a couple of weeks of use?
Hi Jack great question! I'm enjoying the AT&T a bit more thanks to the faster upload speeds, and besides that, the experience is very similar to the Verizon 5G whereas it just works, and we don't have to think about it.
In Ohio, AT&T 5G is the worst experience in technology I have ever had.
Ironically, half the time when I talk to customer support over the years, the person on the phone is located in Ohio 😂
Bro im in ohio and its works great. Especially for gaming
where in Ohio do you live I live there as well and just ordered it. Just a general area dnt have to be exact
What about streaming as in you play games for people on Twitch, Kick, or RUclips?
You must be in a bad part of Ohio cause I'm in Ohio and AT&T works great.
Which one would recommend for gaming and I’ll be plug in the Ethernet not wifi, I been looking into T-Mobile att and xfinity 5g home internet? Which one
Where I live, T-Mobile is definitely the best experience I've had with 5G. New video coming soon!
@ thanks looking forward to it
Blue network port is for larger bandwidth stuff like that, works very well with Netgear night hawk router which I’m using and love it
That's awesome, so you prefer the Nighthawk over the Internet Air's build-inn wifi router? Did you disable the Wifi on the modem?
Hey, keep up the good work bro. Keep the channel up. You’ll be at 100 K before you know it
Thank you!
I have Verizon 5g right now. I have att wireless phones I ordered the Verizon about 6 months ago and I have about 100mbs and I never moved the unit around my house to see if I could get better so I decided to test out the att air so I ordered it I should have it tomorrow so I can see which is faster and more reliable. I know on my iPhone 16 pro max my WiFi speeds are pretty good 360mb down 31 up so I hope the att air gets close to the same
Hey awesome! Now that it's been a couple of days, what speeds are you seeing??
Speeds have been staying between 500 and 600 mbs dl I am pretty surprised cause I didn’t expect that
Have you faced any errors while using the box I heard about them befor
I have had some issues with the box, I'm about to post a 7 Month Review video so please subscribe and stay tuned!
Thank you, this was very informative and helpful. I'm trying to weigh whether getting StarLink or a 5G service in a rural area.
Great, glad it was helpful. What did you decide to get?
@@ConsumerTechJoe likely to go with the ATT's Internet Air.
How is this compared to Star Link?
It's faster, cheaper and has a much faster ping than Starlink. But Starlink seems to work everywhere and 5G Home Internet is available in only a few places. I would recommend 5G over Starlink if you can get it, but if you can get Cable Broadband or Fiber I would recommend that over other options.
Can you travel with the ATT air? Use ie use in an RV?
Great question - the jury is still out on this one. I believe you are locked to the tower near your home, however, I would like to confirm this. I did attempt to travel with the Verizon in the camper van; we drove from Washington to Moab and Lake Tahoe, and it did work in other places with it was very slow, we were definitely not getting 5G speeds (or even 4G speeds for that matter).
AT&T employee here. In a training we had to do for this product. Supposedly you will get a notification if it’s too far away from the billing address and will not work until returned back within that address for it to work.
However Ive had customers say they were able to take it to different locations with not much issues and the speeds varied depending on how far you are from the nearest tower
It’s “technically” design to be in one place for optimal performance.
Your antenna-signal is PARMOUNT in terms of signal quality for Wireless home internet boxes. I am sure you have found that out by now. Get those things close to a window (without the blinds messing up any signal) or get a specific antenna made for 5G Home Internet, and you'll see an improvement over letting those things just sit on an interior table.
I haven't noticed much difference because I think I'm just getting close enough to the maximum speed already. I'm doing a experiment soon to see how fast we can really get things!
I live in an urban area. Speeds with AT&T air are severely disappointing.
During the afternoon speeds drop to where the internet is unusable. Tech support has not been helpful at all.
Doing restarts while the modem is configuring, I ran a speed test and had high speeds until it fully connected. It feels like speeds are restricted intentionally, especially at busier times. This is the worst internet I have had since dial up. At least dial up was consistent.
That's definitely one of the downfalls of broadband - you're sharing internet with everyone else in your area, and in peak times there just isn't enough bandwidth for everyone. i would recommended looking into another internet option. If you're in an urban area, hopefully you have access to Fiber or Cable internet, which is what I would use if it was available here on the farm. Best of luck.
do you know how to set the screen time on this device
I'm not sure if that's an option on this device or not, thank you for your question and best of luck to you.
@ I cant find it. so the time on the screen is wrong time now。i dont know jow to fix it
We have had ours for a couple of months and had nothing but problems. Back and forth with customer support, they send you in circles. They sent us a new unit and it had an error code as soon as we plugged it in. We called and said it wasnt set up yet on their end. We have to wait another 4 days to use it. Crazy. Wish I stayed with cable at this point. Maybe we will give the Verizon one a shot.
If cable is an option, it's almost always the better option. Faster speeds for less. Sorry to hear about your experience, best of luck.
sounds like a streak of bad luck, maybe. i hate being that guy, but i ALWAYS have issues with ISP crap and this 5G Air has been the easiest, most problem-free solution ive tried, ever... and Ive tried so, so many.
Will this ATT Air work with an older Dell desktop (2013) that is Windows 7?
Yes it will, so long as your have either WIFI or a LAN port on your laptop. Good luck!
they put the USB port there for if you want to hook up your devices for charging or if something calls for an adaptation that has a USB that’s basically what they put that for so you can plug that USB into the back of your modem if you wish to..
Nice what sort of adapters might work?
I just got ATT Internet Air and the all-Fi hub looks like the one they use for business. I don’t think they send out that pillow looking one anymore which is a good thing.
I'm looking into that! The pillow looking thing is acting like it's overheating on warm days, even though it has a fan inside it!
How long have you been using this air internet i got internet AT&T for my opening small business i got appointment from the technician they said they will be coming today to install and wiring up then no body showed up and i call them they said that it's actually Air nobody has to come and install wires or something all i need to go one of the store and get the device and set it up my own so i got confused is this air wifi reliable for small business i haven't picked up the device yet please help me out with questions in my mind guys have a blessed day you all Hi from Texas /Little elm
I’ve been using Internet Air for a month now. No installation is needed. You just plug in the router where you get the best the signal. They shipped it to me but I have the home version.
I would like to know how you were able to get the ATT one, to be able to use it in a rural area where you live? In my area, they say it is not available but we have access to 5g from ATT.
I was surprised we were able to get it. We live in between 2 cities - Everett and Lake Stevens. I spot we live is rural but we are minutes away from suburbia. I hope you can get service in your area soon.
I have t mobile 5g home internet and it works well even in a rural area
That's awesome! I'm excited to try the T-Mobile 5G Internet, but it isn't currently offered where we live. Hopefully soon! What part of the country are you?
How is this for streaming online? Like Apple TV?
Great question! It's really great for streaming shows, and it's fast enough for streaming to several devices at the same time.
Did you ever try testing both devices in other locations throughout your house? Even small moves can make a big difference. Nice video!
That's a good idea! I'm getting significantly faster speeds in the evenings during off-peak hours. I hope to do an update video soon 👍👍
So ATT doesn't suggest placing this device in a window and then checking speed? Try searching for RUclipsr "NaterTater". He has lots and lots of videos covering this whole cellular home internet "thing".
6:43 I don't like that the equipment shown the app animation had 2 additional ethernet ports than was on the equipment sent to the customer here. Also, never complain about hard wiring.
Totally agree, why are they showing me something better than what they sent me?
good video all way around really want att air its available in my area finally
Awesome let us know how you like it!
So they both have the same speeds?
After 3 months of use, the AT&T Internet Air is definitely faster for uploads and is *usually* faster for downloads, but seems to be more effected by network congestion. It gets a lot slower at peak times, like in the evenings.
Is the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz? My cameras and security requires 2.4.
Great question! It is dual-radio, so it uses both. By default it only has a single SSID that is shared, but I changed mine so that the 5G radio has it's own SSID so I don't have to get bogged down by my slower devices.
I just bought the AOSU solar power cameras. Can I connect them to this?
If the cameras have WiFi then it should work.
I received an email letting me know I can switch to AT&T Air at no additional cost. Not sure what benifits me switching.
What service are you using now?
I heard they were trying to phase out some of their old outdated wired services with the air
I use the USB 3.0 as a thumbdrive. You can play movies off it lol. I know it s a weird use. But you can do other things as well
That's clever!
have you tried starlink
No not yet, it's more expensive and I'm mostly getting the speed I need. Maybe someday?
No ports to hook up external antenna? Not good
Ports for antennas would be nice, there are likely some ports on the inside you could tap into. Would you run a wire from the port to an antenna mounted outside on the roof?
Not available in my area. Which is weird because I live only 20 miles outside of the Mpls/St. Paul area.
That IS weird! Hopefully you get access to this soon 👍👍
@@ConsumerTechJoe - I have access to both Verizon and T-Mobile residential 5g. I put in a request to AT&T... hopefully that gets things going.
Only issue I had was trying to change the WiFi name and WEP key, It would shutdown and not allow anything to connect.
Sorry to hear that, hopefully that didn't stop you from enjoying everything else! Good luck to you 👍👍
No it didn’t, I ended up resetting it back to factory and setting up my own network mesh system after the AT&T air device
Highly recommend getting a ethernet cable and trying both. I have AT&T Fiber 1Gig and when I speedtest on my phone right next to router I only get 300 down and 300 up. If I speedtest on my laptop I get around 700 down and 700 up over wifi. If I speedtest on ethernet I get 940/940. I think the limitation comes a lot in the phone.
Will do, watch for this in a video soon!
Yes, phones are not full powered wifi receivers if they were bye bye battery :)
Wi-Fi 6 or 7 router and compatible phone will get your that 1Gig speed on Wi-Fi
@@matt498vf yikes
But when doing speed test on your wireless for att I get 300-600
Hey, how is the AT&T with gaming
It's not the best. I don't really game, but with ping times as high as they are, there are definitely better options out there.
@@ConsumerTechJoecould it also depend on areas ?because I used to have an att hotspot and got really good ping
excellent so far for me. SOOOO much better than dogshit comcast and meh Verizon
Why did you test the AT&T Internet Air with the older outdated Verizon cube? They have a new one that's taller (rectangle) that is faster than the cube version.
Oh whoa I didn't know about the new one just tested the one that I had. I will look into this.. Thank you!
Why don't you just move it to the recommended position right at the window? That can make a huge difference, especially on higher 5G frequencies....
Great question, I hope to do a video about this soon.
Having the two wifi signal sources so close together can be degrading both WiFi signals
That's definitely true, but since the only had traffic on them one at a time, I didn't see lower speeds than when I only had one setup.
Have Att internet air and I do not recommend it! Att told us to trade our old modem with internet air or they will turn off our old modem and we did. Spent a whole week trying to get the internet air modem setup with 10+ errors. When we got it setup, it showed that we have slower internet speeds than our old modem😢
Yikes! Sorry to hear about your experience. I recommend wired internet anywhere it works! I chose the 5G service because our only other option is Satellite Internet like Starlink. I hope you find something that works well for you, best of luck!
Great video Joe! It would be interesting to see you compare the AT&T Internet Air up against the TMobile solution.
I would love to! Interestingly enough, although T-Mobile's headquarters based in Factoria not far from here, their 5G home internet service isn't currently offered where I live.
I got the ATT thing as soon as I opened it up, I put it back in the box and took it to UPS and sent it back didn’t even plug it in.
It was way to big
It is certainly huge.
Why can't anyone follow the simply directions to scan the code? Just makes you look silly. We got the ATT Air and have 552Mbps down and 43.37Mbps up. We're about 2000 feet from the tower.
Yeah lol I would recommend just scanning the code, but I wanted to just hook it up and have it work. Those are great speeds! Thanks for the tower distance, I'm wondering how much of a different the distance from the tower makes.
@@ConsumerTechJoe Patience you must have, my young Padawan.
I can see on your test that the ping is below 100ms and is around 70! That’s impressive! Thanks for the great video pal! Does your test by any chance show what the MTU is?
Great question, Speedtest.net doesn't share the MTU size used in the test. The AT&T All-Fi is set to 1430 and can't be changed. Hope this info helps a little.
70 ms ping is horrible for a home Internet connection. Even for a cellular connection that's god awful
Seems like the latency is generally higher on ATT. Not a big deal but if you care about online gaming having a ping up around 80 to 100ms is not going to work very well
Yeah good point. I don't game so typically latency isn't something I zero in on, but will give it more attention in future videos. Thanks you!
Even without gaming I notice the latency in the AT&T Air at a relatives house compared against my Xfinity wired connection at my house.
Bro, tell me about it😢
i think you mean if you care about sweaty e-sports. not all "online gaming" requires 15ms pings... you probably think 120Hz @120 FPS is a slideshow, too, dont you? lol
@@AEOH3XI'm a console gamer I don't care about things like 120hz. I play Tekken 8 online on PS5 and it won't let me into matches when my ping is up around 70ms
Near a window or facing the closest tower will improve your upload speeds, which is what you specifically need. Just from my cellular data on AT&T inside my home the upload is trash, around 1-5 mbps, but if I put my phone on the window it goes up to like 30 Mbps. That's because I'm on edge cell, and causes a major signal difference just being at the window
I'm going to try that! I actually have an idea for a future video that takes this idea and runs wild. I will try the window and outside next.
I have AT&T DSL currently and even though I just logged into my AT&T app yesterday and double check the Internet service, I see Internet Air is available again and I was like this is the worst idea due to some basic research i have done.
I mean I have read mix reviews online.
I would really like fiber optic internet though as I know it's faster than 5G home internet. But an AT&T customer service representative told me in areas that 5G home internet is available then Fiber optic internet won't be available, which makes no sense to me at all logically thinking.
This Representative even told me they are told to convince elderly customers into switching from DSL to Internet Air, i couldn't believe I heard that it that is even true.. i was like that's just wrong.
If internet air works for yours and other needs great, but if i am forced into switching internet then I'll bite my own words and go back to cable which in my situation isn't even faster than DSL i have. 🤦
Yeah. AT&T is doing everything they can to abandon their archaic POTS/DSL system. They will either upgrade certain markets to fiber OR sell Internet Air instead of upgrading to fiber. Installing fiber is extremely expensive and labor intensive. And as all business owners know, you want to reduce your expenses while making as much profit as possible.
And I agree with what you're saying. I live in a town of about 70k people In NorCal. Some neighborhoods got upgraded to fiber, but where I live, it doesn't look like AT&T is interested in modernizing our neighborhood. Luckily we got a fiber ISP about 2 years ago and they finally installed fiber in our area about 6-7 months ago and I switched to it as soon as it was available.
Anyone who has options besides 5G, I recommend the other option. I would absolutely choose Fiber or Cable Internet over this, but they aren't offered where I live. My area Does have DSL but I'm in the back corner of the property about 400yds from the main house, and they won't install it here - hence the 5G.
Yeah it's definitely crazy what they're doing, but it totally makes sense: why maintain tens of thousands of miles of wire if you can just take care of a couple hundred towers instead?
your using Wi-Fi to do test so that will slow down your speed try with the ethernet directly and my see if you get improvement
Great suggestion! Let's find out where the bottleneck is!
I have T-Mobile I get 400 down and 60 up. In the middle of the night speeds jump up to 600 down..
I've heard great things about T-Mobile! Their 5G home internet isn't offered here yet, weird since their headquarters if 40 minutes away.
I could have switched to AT&T if they had supported for traveling. I can move to every state with my Verizon home internet.
Have you tested that? I put my Verizon cube into the campervan for a trip from WA, ID, OR, UT, NV, and CA and it only worked well at home. My understanding was that it is locked to your home tower for full speeds. We were only able to get 3G speeds anywhere else, which was a huge disappointment.
Vzw throttles the 5g to 150 Mbps on the $35 plan. But my VZW phone gets 400 Mbps from the same tower. That ATT box is hideous and huge. Also, I doubt the wifi range is as good as VZW. That 5g VZW box has tremendous wifi range.
That's crazy!
Look into getting an external antenna. With some simple calibrations outside you can point it directly at the best tower and double to even quadruple your current speeds.
Whaaaat that sounds awesome! I'm looking into this 👍👍👍
@@ConsumerTechJoe yeah it requires some disassembly of the router to tap into the antenna ports. But not hard to do and no soldering required. however,some of the newer tmobile routers actually include external antenna jacks so I'm guessing AT&T and Verizon later will adopt that on their new 5g modems.
@@ConsumerTechJoe a quad mimo from waveform should do the trick
Whenever you were testing those so close together, it caused WiFi interference, that’s why the Verizon cube was so slow.
Yes, that's very likely. I've also noticed that other times of the week the internet will test way faster - closer to 330Mbps down. Thursday seems to be a busy internet day here.
Watching this while hating AT&T so much right now. Worst ever customer service. But hey, use what internet you need. I love reviews like this.
I've been looking to just go wired. Is that bizarre?
Speaking of bizarre, the AT&T Cube, lol, why did they make it that way? Does it act as some sort of WiFi worship zone? It needs to glow in colors, lol.
Hopefully I don't need to go through Customer Service, especially since I was born with the natural gift of Impatience😂 I would always prefer to go Wired when it is an option, however where I live it is not available. But yeah, the All-Fi hub looks like a Shrine. I keep it in the cabinet below the TV and it's working fine in there, although I'm concerned about heat dissipation once summer hits. Stay tuned!
You want to stay with Verizon and get you a outdoor antenna in outdoor leads to hook up to the Verizon box and you'll get your speeds that you're looking for
Huh?
It doesnt have a coax port. So the ethernet does work well
Real Test is how well does it go through walls and 2 story Condo's?
Probably as well as a cell phone would, which is to say, meh.
Is there data caps with this service?
That was my question, too! Allegedly, AT&T says there are no caps and no throttling with this service.
That's is actually great AT&T is 75-225mbps max on the label and when I talked to an agent max speed is 225 I'm debating from Spectrum 79.99 max 300mbps is it worth saving $25 🤔 upstairs I get 278mbps but I have a nighthawk netgear router which is over kill but works great no issues Spectrum loves Netgear Routers
But spectrum goes up after a year
I got a great deal only 39.99 for faster speed ultra 500mbps for entire year then goes up $10 every year and lowered cellphone bill to 39.99 saving $55🍻
Spectrum is having a special 39.99
I have a lot of devices and family comes over and uses wifi, my internet from Spectrum can handle that amount of loads but I do like the fact that att internet air is available at a cheap price and no price increase after 1 year I would get it if I didn't have a lot of devices connected to wifi and ethernet and I need it to get to my garage and outside yard area and wife does a lot of work from home.
That's pretty fast! I'd love to try Spectrum, will try them next!
Does the speed run out like what hotspot does
No, it doesn't run out, there is no cap on data for this service like there would be for a hotspot.
why is US service so slow most of the time i see it? I'm in a little village in the uk and get 200mbit+ down 50-70mbit up on 5G, only a bit slower on the download on 4G (We're not using 5G for upload atm) and I know that's a slow site. I've had 800Mbit + speeds over 5G without mmWave and that was like 2 years ago
Yeah I'm not quite sure why. Rural internet speeds where we live aren't the best; in fact, even in most of the towns it isn't very fast. Glas you're seeing great speeds in the UK!
Because in the us the media corporations that control the internet like to screw and control their customers
Because of size, there are 11 states which could fit the UK inside them and remember we have 50 states.
Most of European countries are small compare to US size means, its very cheap to provide most of the country with 5g cellular towers or fiber internet wire that's 5g or fiber are cheaper and faster over there compare to US or Canada.
I understand the coverage issue, but the speed issue is totally different - unless you're running microwave backhaul, you'd be running fibre the vast majority of the time @@adamotak5145
It's just his exact location. The US has endless places that are now doing over 1 gig download and 100-200 upload over midband 5G on all carriers as long as you're close to the tower site and they have good fiber backhaul cranked up on the site as well. Ive hit 2 gbps on T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless on non-mmwave, and 1.2 gbps on AT&T
T-Mobile headquarters is in Seattle. Why aren’t you testing T-Mobile?
The T-Mobile 5G Home Internet isn't offered where I live, but hopefully soon.
having a big egg that brings you wifi is so whimsical
It definitely is!!!
No your wrong we use wired cords for everything but moble devices because its faster and constant. Wifi is to slow
I'm going to test this theory out, and soon!
my upload is under 10 very slow I live near tower so why slow?
Hi, great question. It could be several reasons - The signal could have trouble penetrating the walls of your home, try moving to near a window in the direction of the tower. Also, try moving it higher above the ground. Also, if you point the fast of the AllFi Hub towards the tower this will help as well. Ultimately though, sometimes slow speeds are a result of network congestion. Good luck with trying to improve your speed - be sure to post back here if you find something that helps.
@@ConsumerTechJoe All of these are done right don't know why still don't work
why don't we build these into our devices... why can't my TV have a built in Internet Air?
Great idea, that's probably next. Watches have it already.
i feel like this i the same power supply they use for the BGW 320 fiber ONT
Crazy, maybe they manufactured this for AT&T?
Weird. My ATT 5G Air gets 70-80 Mbps Up and 250-3000 Mbps Down (depending on the endpoint im connected to)
I'm on the basic $60/mo package - Also, I have the newer tower model, rather than the lozenge or whatever tf that is. haha
Glad to hear you're having a great experience! I have a new video coming comparing to the T-Mobile 5G service. Stay tuned!
If you want faster speed place it near a window
I will try that next!
I have the same service(att) here in Grove City, Ohio… I’m getting 600 up and 25 down… has to be the location possibly
Whoa! Yes, that's pretty fast! Are you using Wifi or are you connected to the hub with an ethernet cable?
@@ConsumerTechJoe that was with wifi. I have a separate router that I use for Ethernet connected to it for more ports I don’t get as fast of wifi speeds though through my router as I do straight from the hub
Mine looks different and looks like the xfinity hub rectangular
That's cool I want that one!
Now try testing both at 4am lol
I have and it's definitely faster at 4am lol
I have 25 megs I need anything that is better then that for sure I just ordered this rn
Nice! Comment back and let us all know how it works for you.
As large as it is you should be able to watch TV on it🤔😆
Haha right?!?!
I couldn't watch your video because of the background noise you added. What do you think it adds to your content? Many of us with misophonia can't tolerate the irritant. We can't hear both your voice and the background noise.
I'm sorry the video was hard to listen to, just in cast I did prepare the subtitles for folks that can benefit from them. I hope this helps 🤗
the fact that it has a 10gig port is confusing AF. the 5G on it is never reaching anywhere near that. seems like a wasted port on a cell data product.
I agree, and with just a single 10gig work it negates using it for 10gig internal network traffic. It's weird
If you have a Verizon cell plan then the 5G internet is $35 a month, every month with no introductory hump.
The future is not wireless! The radio spectrum will always be a limitation. Fiber is the ting to go after.
Yes, I think you're right! Where I live, fiber is currently not an option. The fastest internet we can get is 5G, and Starlink is too expensive where other things could still work.
Wireless is the future how are you going to get internet too everyone?
if you want faster speeds dont have them on next to each other. it causes interference and place it next to a window and use it as a modem only get ur own router and trust speeds will improve. also dont put it next to any objects
I agree, you are right but I didn't notice speeds any faster in other locations, not next to each other, etc. Getting your own router wouldn't necessarily speed up internet speeds in my case because the WiFi was still faster than the internet connection.
I am mortified w/ it 😩😩😩😩😵💫😵💫😵😵sick of it stating I live in Detroit when I live in Tennessee get their news etc., You should not have to find areas in your house for its best output switching like frrrfrrr
Meanwhile stuck at 480p and buffering with the WiFi Egg. 5G has gotta be the absolute worst thing to happen. Once 5G came around LTE started acting worse.
I wonder why that is, did they switch LTE towers over to 5G?
I would give 3/10 for At&T 5G hub design and 10/10 for Verizon Square Internet Hub. Case closed.
Honestly, 100% agree
Do you think At&t internet AIR device's Firmware is up to date?
Great question! I just logged into the modem to check, it has to be done manually and says "You should only update your device when instructed to do so by AT&T Customer Care." I assume that AT&T would have to email me the firmware file to update it.
@@ConsumerTechJoe Log In and go under each of of the settings menu and see if Software Update, or Firmware Update is evan an option.
quite silly they don't include a few hours of backup power
I agree, wish they did! Could pair it with a UPS of course 😀
I got 302 on t mobile its very good
Awesome that's fast!
Have you tried T-Mobile internet? I get almost 100 on the upload.
NoI haven't yet, where is it offered? How much do you spend?
Might get some stickers make it look like frizzas space ship from DBZ
Yeah it might actually BE a spaceship, can't tell for sure.
I'll stay with my ATT Fiber.
Nice! I'm definitely envious!
Joe so damn fine 🥹😍😍 nice video sir
Awesome, great! Glad you enjoyed the video.
The AT&T device is ugly and too big. They should have designed it as a cube similar to the Verizon device.
Yeah I totally agree!!!
had this hub for 4 months now and shouldnt need to say this but my upload speed has never reached over 5mb. not once have i got into a game and not seen ping issues. ATT is truly the wifi of all time.
It's different and unique
@@ConsumerTechJoewhy not get FiOS or fiber in general
@@chriswright8074 Fiber isn't available in all areas yet.
Considering what you're using, those speeds aren't bad.
Yeah I really can't complain!
My relative got the T-Mobile version and is getting 500+ consistently
Nice, that's fast! What state is that in?
@@ConsumerTechJoe LI/NY
My Verizon box works much better than Spectrum’s internet and it’s half the cost. I guess it depends on your location.
I think it's very location dependant. Where is Spectrum's service offered?
@@ConsumerTechJoe Spectrum covers the South East far as I’m aware. They use to be Time Warner. It’s always been subpar, but there’s been little competition until now.
1:23 10GB port? 🤔
Yeah it's a 10GB port to plug into a router or straight into a computer that supports it.
I don't know why AT&T Puts 2 ports, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gb for the LAN CABLE, even though the download speed is not more than 250 Mbps! :-) Funny, ha?
Maybe it supports mm Wave?
Yeah I'm not sure why they do that.
looks like ping and jitter are much better on Verizon
Yeah and Verizon was more consistent overall.
Verizon Wireless Home internet in my rural area is giving 10.86 Download MBPS / 0.68 MBPS UPLOAD.!! lol
Yikes! I bet people don't stick around long for that. I hope you find something better soon!
