AT&T 5G E games are more fun than its 5G E network

AT&T was recently named the fastest network in the United States, thanks to Ookla's speed test results for the first quarter of 2019. Now the company is celebrating that achievement in the form of a new web game called AT&T Data Drive.

The game can be played at www.stnetworkgame.com. It's an 8-bit style car game that appears to be a knockoff of Spy Hunter, minus all the really fun parts of the original game, like weapons or gadgets. Instead, players are placed in an AT&T branded car and tasked with completing the game as quickly as possible while avoiding obstacles like potholes, water spills, and, of course, slower cars.

AT&T Data Drive is also much simpler than Spy Hunter, limiting players to left and right movements instead of more strategic options like accelerating or braking, which makes dodging cars much more difficult.

To complete the game, you need to "drive faster than 5G E to boost the blue arrow at the top," which will give your car a brief rocket boost. It's a weird gameplay mechanic, since 5G E is just regular LTE and doesn't have the kind of speed boost that a true 5G network would provide.

Once you've completed the game, AT&T will allow players to share their scores on Facebook and continue to AT&T's website to learn more. AT&T also asks players to "share the link with friends to see who can complete the game with the best time."
