How is AT&T’s fake 5Ge faster?

[@g00bermeister]

AT&T 5GE is surprisingly quite a bit more than just advanced LTE and you would notice a deviation(200mbps vs 150mbps) in speed if the signal actually read LTE. It's a little bit different from LTE, and it's not low band 5G (which is actually intended to perform worse but have better coverage per tower). But it's something like LTE+++ And it does not work on most LTE only Android phones. This is why they call it 5G evolution because it's more advanced than their normal LTE but it's still not a 5G band. it was/is an evolutionary step towards 5G.

[@sugy19]

Did all the tests use prioritized data?

[@g00bermeister]

One other thing you weren't paying attention to signal strength. The further away you get from the tower the weaker the signal and the slower the data transmission.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

[@colinjack12]

I really appreciate your time and effort making this video! You were very thorough and I really appreciate you showing ALL of the data you collected! Stay safe!

[@SINCITYJ]

Using both Verizon and AT&T I have really noticed you get the best network experience with no limits when using AT&T. I gave up on Tmobile many years ago. AT&T doesn't throttle their network one bit. That's more than value, that's justice and consumer friendly. Verizon has the best coverage with AT&T closing the gap and AT&T has the fastest speeds. Thanks for the video. Great job 👍

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Yes AT&T throttles. I have it on LTE modem and phone. They throttle my modem around 25 Mbps download. My phone connected to the same tower will have 110 download

[@SINCITYJ]

@@Bryan-Hensley Interesting because I'm curious if your devices are capable of connecting to all available bands? I know the newer the device is the more bands it can connect to. I haven't experienced any throttle with AT&T in a very long time. Still seems like you get more than decent speeds though. Stay safe and stay well 👍

[@Bryan-Hensley]

@@SINCITYJ yes I am getting all the bands. AT&T is only using 12, 2 and 66 around here. Speeds are about the same on band 2 and 66. A little slower on 12. I can have the data modem and my phone on the same band, the modem will never go above 26 Mbps download, the phone will get to over 100 mbps. I think they are throttling all unlimited data plans but letting phones go wide open. But I'm happy with anything above 22 Mbps. If my modem gets on band 12 the speed will hover around 15 Mbps download. I don't understand why anyone needs 100 Mbps download.

[@MattHalpain]

I have AT&T iPhone 8 in 2021. I am happy AT&T LTE is very fast in your tests. I am happy I randomly discovered your YT channel as your content is very helpful and beneficial for considering cell phone plans.

[@thebearjew8463]

I’m asking myself, why get 5G when AT&T has LTE that good?

[@thecwwshow8036]

Latency might be a huge factor and the future for 5 g is meant to be better

[@mingzhouzhu4668]

exactly. LTE meets all my requirements now i really don't care about 5G

[@brandon1879]

LTE has been around much longer than 5G, so LTE has the advantage. 5G is still new, so overall, it's good to see where we're standing for 5G so far. Plus there have been news and info about 6G, yes 6G! Only time will tell how everything goes for technology.

[@daimientaylor3108]

What latency? 5G infrastructure isn't fully setup yet for less than 10 ms latency

[@ryanschaff2507]

95% of “5G” out right now is nothing but just a tweaked LTE signal. From a science standpoint they are virtually identical. Actual 5G is MMWAVE, a completely different beast entirely. Unless you are on MMWAVE you have LTE.

[@ThunderKlowd]

Thanks for a very informative video ! Sounds like a lot of work and time.

[@kanehi]

[@zurcyer]

[@timman3643]

This video is from December 2020. In AUgust 2021 results will be way different. T-Mobile has way more N41 rolled out that they didn’t back then

[@MichaelSaves]

Stetson!! This is so good and very different from the speeds I've gotten down here in South Florida. But I agree with your takeaways. Did you notice how much data these speed tests use up?

[@realsmt]

Vzw mmwave is tremendous. Approaching 3 gbps in the cle.

[@rivera5589]

It's not tremendous here in LA . Sure it can get up to 3gbps . But walk 2 steps and it disappears and u back to slow lte. And verizon has the slowest lte here in LA it's like 5 -10 mbps . Att is the best here because if u go out there 5G+ área which is mmwave u at least fall back to a really fast lte that's still getting 100+ mbps .

[@daimientaylor3108]

Yeah but their nodes are sparse.

[@kickassclone75]

so what do you do with the bandwidth? Are you using it for seedboxes ? 3 gigs of bandwidth is meaningless unless you just like to look at speedtest numbers.

[@daimientaylor3108]

@@kickassclone75 it's not about the bandwidth, it's about CAPACITY. The more bandwidth you have the more capacity it can handle before it slows down. The more lanes traffic has on the highway, the less likely the slowdown

[@johnmoore1495]

Short summary: Basically turn off 5G unless you’re in a city that offers true ultra wideband/mmWave 5G. What I don’t get is why would they separate the low band 5G from 4G LTE. Why not combine the them and just call it 5G? You would seemingly have increased speed over just 4G LTE.

[@oso13bravo]

Thanks for putting this together we can see how hard you worked to get this done thanks. I was thinking of changing from T-Mobile but now I am sure thanks again.

[@ChrisWEEZ]

Awesome video! Thank you for putting in the effort to go to different places across all the networks. I noticed US Mobile beginning to roll out 5G where I live, and it’s just disappointing compared to the faster LTE network. Interesting that despite AT&T’s false advertising of “5G”-e, they’re actually giving you better speeds across the board (unless you happen to be in sight of a mmwave transmitter). I’ll take “reliably fast” over “rarely INSANELY fast”

Here in Texas it's the same trend. AT&T has fast LTE, VZW and TMO are slower. Mint and Visible are cheaper for unlimited though so there's that.

[@DiacriticalOne]

Great test set. There are two points... if you are in a mmWave area, the 5G really does make a world of difference. Second, if you upload, esp tethered, 5G is (usually) vastly superior. So the use case matters in deciding where to go. I also found that streaming (that is, feeding a stream, not consuming one) over 5G tends to be more consistent, FWIW.

Stetson: Aside from the channel bandwidth consider the effect of backhaul connections. So, what you’ve measured is the how complete are the connections feeding 5G transceivers - at least in the mm bandwidth. It doesn’t matter what the transceiver capability if the feed can’t fill it. Note that the LTE based systems work fine not only from a bandwidth perspective, but the network feeding them are mature and able to give them all they can handle. Right?

great effort however, you need to compare RSRP to the throughput. At each location there will be a difference in proximity to the carrier's antenna and thus will effect your results.

Can't help buy notice that ATT is consistently a higher ping than the rest. It isn't horrible buy I wonder if you would notice a difference if trying to do something like FaceTime. Awesome video as always. But as far as "ATT 5G" goes I have to say I never see it pop up. I work in location that is suppose to be covered and traveling my whole state it hasn't shown on my iPhone once. I even went so far to even contact support because I thought something was wrong, but they couldn't see anything that would limit it and my plan was a 5G plan. I personally think their coverage map is just plain wrong.

[@christiangarcia4963]

@@kinglouis2987 well I live in a rural place where most of the people have verzion but still, its kinda slow compare to other companies

[@Rising_Pho3nix_23]

Holy crap the quality of this experiment is amazing. As someone who appreciates meta analysis and comprehensive experiments, this was very well done. Hard to follow at times but nothing a 2nd watch couldn't fix lol

[@milkstorm4818]

Is it possible to get more 1900mhz or 2100 MHz on 5G? I mean it has decent coverage as shown with LTE and is really fast

[@skyrex4694]

you also need to test the different 4G and 5G frequency band

[@SuperPudley]

How about doing the same test on the Nothwest area?

[@gypsyboy9763]

What app are you using to test The data

[@punch3n3ergy37]

So in a nutshell: Go with AT&T and get real 4G not like the marketing "5G" which is just there to exist.

[@Szari124]

There’s one spot in my house where I get 600 upload and 98 download on the T-Mobile network 5G

[@0to60vidsusa4]

AT&T has significantly improved in Boulder County within the last 1-2 years. Verizon is unusable in Lafayette - just my experience.

[@JakePimental]

This is a fantastic video!! Great job. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@StetsonDoggett]

Thank you, Jake!

[@milkstorm4818]

Att is very expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. In my area I get 220mbps on T-Mobile and 40 on att and 200 on Verizon so T-Mobile has cheaper costs and best preformance.

[@TheVisionaryLeo]

I always thought my At&T was the issue with network connecting to 5g

[@only1gameguru]

This DDS is amazing.

[@TheMedievalShow]

Csn you do the test again after January 1st?

[@Cjaiceman]

Was there any measurable difference in ping and jitter between 5G and LTE in your testing?

[@StetsonDoggett]

This is an excellent question! I may try and go through the footage and check, but unfortunately I didn't capture those data points for this specific video.

[@ayocam07]

I have 11 pro max I’m with ATT it works great!! I have no issues I get 5Ge and LTE everywhere I go in the states no issues. Don’t need 5G yet for next few years

[@rpaulmerrell]

Based on the speed tests being displayed on the video it sounds to me like there’s no real huge reason to rush out and buy the iPhone 12 if you want 5G coverage. This is not the first time I’ve seen these kind of results I think if I were to purchase the iPhone 12 pro myself, I would be tempted to turn off 5G and just give everyone a chance to build out their networks a little bit more

[@StetsonDoggett]

The good news is the iPhone 12 has a great LTE modem, too. I think I’ll probably end up leaving 5G turned off too, based on my results in my area. Performance does vary a lot from location to location though, so it may be worth running some of your own tests in your own location to see how the networks perform.

[@gilbertkaram5530]

Been lookin for an accurate video for a while, well made.

[@brookrobinson6690]

I live in Dallas and I easily average over 200 Mbps down, and 20 up where I live on T-Mobile LTE.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Why is the upload so slow?

[@ewandennison]

in Canada we get 500MBPS with 4 bars of LTE… at least in our town

[@dmorales125]

It’s like you said it all depends on location. If you are in NYC you will get a different result.

[@SuperPudley]

How about doing this same test on the Northwest areas?

[@jacoballey1183]

Wish I got those LTE speeds. I’m lucky to get 3-4 mbps in Tennessee. That’s for Verizon and at&t

[@madbirds]

Did u turn the ios 5g always on and not on auto? As went to check out mmwave on att with my phone s20 ultra and dads iPhone 12 pro max and it was having lots of issues(with the auto turned on as I forgot about it)

[@StetsonDoggett]

Yep, 5G was set to "5G On" for all tests. Example at 6:05.

[@madbirds]

@@StetsonDoggett interesting. That some slow mmwave also.

[@SpeedyDacoit]

@@madbirds it’s not mm wave in any of the tests lol it’s their nationwide one

[@madbirds]

@@SpeedyDacoit yes there was.... he did 2 or 3 locations with mmwave

[@SpeedyDacoit]

@@madbirds mm wave with Verizon is way faster it reaches like gig speeds and the other 5G isn’t as well and I have iPhone 12 as well and Verizon 5G nationwide isn’t so hot right now it’s usually a little faster or a little slower then LTE, AT&T has like the best lte network in terms of speed ever but I’m sure Verizon’s is more reliable

[@stradley_]

T-Mobile needs to just merge the sprint towers asap
