The truth about AT&T's Flaky 5G
Home Internet & why Optimum
wins

5G Home Internet may sound good at first, until you realize you don’t know what speed you’re getting. That’s because 5G Internet runs on shared cell phone towers and slows during peak hours. They call it “fast internet,” we call it “not good enough.”

Terms Terms

Based on Optimum's analysis of Ookla® Speedtest Intelligence® data during Q3-Q4 2025 in Optimum's footprint. Reliable speeds based on Consistency Score comparisons. Peak hours defined as 7-11PM Mon-Fri. Ookla trademarks used under license and reprinted with permission.

Optimum Fiber-powered Internet beats
5G Home Internet every time

The right technology, straightforward pricing, and benefits that put customers first.

Consistent speeds

Optimum has fast, reliable, consistent Fiber-powered Internet. AT&T Internet Air uses shared cell towers and slows with congestion.

Low latency

Game, stream, and video call with low ping, less buffering, and fewer dropped frames. Enjoy the low-latency Fiber-powered connection that 5G Home Internet can’t match.

5-year price lock

Optimum’s Internet price won’t increase for 5 years, while AT&T has no long term price lock.

Risk-free switch

No annual contracts with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not happy, we'll pay to switch you back to another provider.

Hear from customers who made the switch

From streaming to gaming, customers trust Optimum to keep up. Check out our real Google reviews.
