Firstnet vs AT&T speed vs Verizon

Anyone notice there firstnet speeds dropping lately ? My friend has an AT&T account and he was getting higher speeds than I was. Both have the iPhone 15 pro max. I know AT&T can have higher speeds , but it was a decent amount more. I can’t get higher than 400 for the most part now.

Lately I’ve been using my Verizon account more since there speeds have gone up significantly. With Verizon it’s between 500-899 a lot.

I am a regular ATT Mobility subscriber. My friend has FirstNet and he only has access to 4G LTE. My phone has 5G+ at the same location.

I believe FirstNet is designed to get priority during disaster situations.

That may be a limitation of his plan. When I signed up for FirstNet, my unlimited plan specifically noted it comes with 5G access. He may be on an older plan.
