AT&T Internet speed test

Free AT&T speed test. Whether you're on AT&T Fiber or legacy DSL, see what fraction of your advertised plan is actually reaching your device.

Typical AT&T Internet delivery

~92% of advertised speed

AT&T Fiber typically delivers very close to advertised speeds; AT&T DSL/copper plans are often well below.

AT&T Internet plans & advertised speeds

PlanDown (Mbps)Up (Mbps)
Internet 10010020
Internet 300 (Fiber)300300
Internet 500 (Fiber)500500
Internet 1000 (Fiber)940880

ISPs advertise “up to” speeds. Your real-world result depends on line type, congestion, modem and Wi-Fi. Use NetStartr to find out what fraction you\'re getting.

How to test your AT&T Internet connection accurately

  1. Plug a laptop or desktop into your router with Ethernet (avoid Wi-Fi for the headline number).
  2. Pause cloud syncs and downloads.
  3. Open NetStartr and click Start Test.
  4. Pick your AT&T Internet plan from the “Am I getting what I pay for?” selector and read off the percentage.
  5. Re-test at peak (8-10 PM) and off-peak (8 AM) to spot congestion.

What to do if AT&T Internet underdelivers

  • Reboot your modem & router; many ISP modems re-provision on boot.
  • If you\'re under 70% of plan three days running, contact support and reference the times you tested.
  • Ask for a free modem swap (cable plans) or a tech visit.
  • If unresolved after a few weeks, request a partial bill credit.
