Cricket Wireless Speed Test FAQ
How fast is Cricket Wireless?
Cricket Wireless speeds depend on your plan tier. The Unlimited plan caps data speeds at 8 Mbps, while the Unlimited + More plan allows speeds up to 100 Mbps on 4G LTE with 150 GB of priority data. Since Cricket uses AT&T's network, actual speeds vary by location, congestion, and whether 5G is available in your area. Run a speed test to check your real-world Cricket performance.
Does Cricket Wireless have 5G?
Yes, Cricket Wireless offers 5G access on compatible devices and plans. Cricket uses AT&T's 5G network, which includes both low-band and mid-band spectrum. However, 5G coverage is limited to areas where AT&T has deployed 5G infrastructure. You need a 5G-capable phone and a qualifying plan to access 5G speeds. Check coverage maps on the Cricket website to see if 5G is available at your location.
Why is my Cricket Wireless internet slow?
Cricket Wireless speeds may be slow due to several factors. Cricket applies speed caps on certain plans, with the base Unlimited plan limited to 8 Mbps. During network congestion, Cricket customers may be deprioritized compared to AT&T postpaid users. Additionally, data speeds slow further after exceeding priority data thresholds. Check your current data usage in the myCricket app and run a speed test to measure actual performance.
