AT&T utilizes multiple technologies to deliver the fastest possible speed at any service location―ranging from a variety of DSL-based technologies and Fiber to the Loop that shape its IPBB network to its new-gen Fiber-to-the-Home service that can deliver multi-gigabit speeds. That is how AT&T makes sure every household in its footprint gets access to fast and reliable internet at competitive price points.
AT&T’s multi-gigabit internet maxes out at 5,000 Mbps. That is incredibly fast speed, but as of yet it is available in select areas covered by AT&T Fiber. In non-fiber areas, AT&T delivers up to 100 Mbps download speeds over its IPBB network.
Take a look at popular speed tiers from AT&T. None of them binds you in an annual contract.

For every tech problem, restarting your modem and router is the most standard and proactive step to take. Just like your computer, numerous things keep these pieces of equipment from performing quite as well over time. Sometimes, those issues manifest in slow browsing and a buffering stream.
Similarly, restarting the device that you’re testing your internet speed from also creates an impact. This is because part of your speed test also relies on the performance of your hardware.
For an accurate AT&T speed test result, restarting these devices often helps bring them back to the optimal functioning status.
When running an AT&T speed test, one of the most important rules is to not use the internet while testing it.
No music streaming services running in the background, smart speaker playing music in your bedroom, Wi-Fi security cameras uploading HD video, patches downloading via Windows Update, or Amazon Prime streaming on a TV in another room.
Simply, turn off the internet on any and all connected devices to get the best speed test results
Before running the AT&T speed test, don’t forget to clear your browser's cache. If you plan to test numerous times in a row, try doing this before each subsequent test.
Most speed tests work by uploading or downloading one or multiple files of specific sizes, and calculating the internet speed on the basis of the time it takes for the entire activity to complete.
If you're testing multiple times in a row, the test results after the initial one might be affected by the fact that those files already exist on your device—in the cache. A good speed test should make amends, but unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
