AT&T has officially announced the launch of its 5G home internet service, called “Internet Air,” in 16 major US markets. The company is following the footsteps of Verizon and T-Mobile, which have already built out their 5G home internet services. AT&T’s offering includes a discount for existing wireless customers, no contracts, free self-installation, and more.

The pricing for AT&T Internet Air is per month for eligible AT&T wireless plan customers and per month for non-wireless customers (both with autopay). It also includes free self-installation with equipment provided, no contract or overage fees, a 7-day free trial, and eligibility for the Affordable Connectivity Program.

The download speeds for AT&T Internet Air range from 40-140 Mbps, while upload speeds range from 5-25 Mbps. The service includes a modem/router that resembles a giant AirPods Pro case.

Although AT&T currently lags behind T-Mobile and Verizon in terms of coverage (servicing 50+ million and 30+ million homes respectively), Internet Air is now available in parts of 16 major US metro areas. These areas include cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia.

While Internet Air may have slower speeds compared to its competitors, it provides an affordable and faster alternative for customers who were previously on AT&T’s slow DSL service. Existing AT&T wireless customers can also benefit from a discounted price of /month instead of having to switch to Verizon or T-Mobile for a bundle deal.

AT&T plans to expand its coverage and improve its performance in the future. In the meantime, customers can take advantage of the new 5G home internet service in the available markets.
