You're experiencing similar speeds despite your 1GBps plan. Using a VPN on the laptop reduces performance further. It might be worth checking your modem settings or network configuration to see if there are any restrictions or optimizations you can apply.
You have a 1 Gig from AT&T on fiber. It offers a symmetrical 1Gbps connection. The next available service is AT&T vDSL, which can only reach up to 100 Mbps very close to your local CO. Therefore, download and upload speeds should be similar or nearly equal.
Hello, thank you for the message. Yes, it's common to find them both good and similar.
It might work. Many business-grade links use synchronous connections. The 'A' in ADSL stands for Asynchronous, so you won’t notice that difference. Previously, home connections often offered faster download speeds compared to upload, but with modern fiber technology that gap has narrowed.
However, this refers to ATT fiber connections in a home environment. A laptop's Wi-Fi operates both downlink and uplink at roughly 350mbps, even though the router is positioned within line of sight. Occasionally the uplink surpasses the downlink by nearly 50-60mbps.
It still feels quite typical to me. The term “fiber” comes into play here. Based on my guesses, residential services usually involve many households clustered together. Since residential customers tend to upload more than they download, it’s likely other users in your neighborhood are consuming a lot of download capacity while contributing little to the upload.
The AT&T fiber connection offers balanced speeds, delivering roughly 950Mbps down and 950Mbps up under optimal settings when installed directly. In practice, wireless performance typically ranges about 500Mbps in either direction.
