In a recent 5G SA (standalone) speed test, a device connected to AT&T's network outperformed T-Mobile in downlink speeds, but T-Mobile led in uplink speeds and latency. The test, conducted by the YouTube channel Tech Life Channel, compared two devices—one on AT&T 5G SA and the other on T-Mobile—using towers approximately 70-80 meters apart.
AT&T achieved downlink speeds of 1,565Mbps, uplink speeds of 137Mbps, and a ping of 49ms, while T-Mobile recorded downlink speeds of 1,156Mbps, uplink speeds of 141Mbps, and a ping of 17ms. AT&T’s downlink speeds were 35% faster, but its higher ping may have been influenced by factors like signal interference.
Despite these results, AT&T's 5G SA network isn't yet available nationwide, with some sources predicting full deployment by 2028. By then, 6G smartphones could emerge, making the timing of AT&T’s rollout uncertain.
