Missing AT&T LTE speeds

[LLcdPH]

Has anyone on AT&T been able to get any decent data speeds on their 5T (or 5). AT&T Todd me today there was nothing they could do with the OnePlus speeds. Best I'm able to get us around 3.5mbps down.

I'm on AT&T, but I receive my 5T tomorrow.

How would I be able to check my LTE speeds? I can check mine and compare them to yours in a day or so.

Install Speedtest from the Play Store.

I'm on att and get lte speeds

 

[LLcdPH]

What do you consider LTE speeds?

 

[CallMeEric]

Install Speedtest from the Play Store.

Cool, will do!

During a just completed chat with OnePlus, I was told that a fix to the slow AT&T LTE speeds was being prepared in the next OS update. With my return window closing in about 10 days, I hope it comes soon.

Yea I'm getting just 3mb down and 3 up on AT&T here in NJ.

This issue is seeing allot of action on the OnePlus Community page. Apparently, it's a know issue with OnePlus and AT&T not playing well on the 5 and 5T. Maybe one of the AC guys could do a little investigating to see what the issue really is? Right now; if you're using the 5T on AT&T, don't expect much in the way of LTE data speeds.

Wow ok. Maybe those of us having trouble can change some settings or something? What do you have in your APN?

 

[ChumsFuture]

103 down 34 up. 5T is actually double the speed of my previous phone, the Honor 8.

Edit: got 140mb+ down in another location. So yeah, no att lte issue here. Just popped my old SIM card in and it was good to go.

 

[ODog2323]

For those lucky folks who are getting good speeds, can you share your APN settings?

 

[ChumsFuture]

I just used the default settings "attnextgenphone"

 

[ODog2323]

Anyone find any news or updates on this? What's the discussion thread in the OP community called?

 

[ODog2323]

Well, I dunno if this is the only reason, but while at the AT&T store today I got reminded that their Unlimited Choice plan is limited to 3mb download. We'll see what happens when I upgrade my plan...

It absolutely is the reason. You gotta upgrade/pay for the unlimited plus plan to get the fastest speeds. 100+gb even in LTE+ areas.

 

[ODog2323]

I upgraded to Unlimited Plus and I'm still only getting 3mb down :-/

I pull mid 60's to low 70s down, and 8-14 up, with my 5T, very consistently.
Located in a Seattle suburb, pretty high density, and AT&T Unlimited Plus.
