I just feel like they renamed 4G into 5G, 3G into 4G and Edge into 3G.
Jokes aside, I know the overall amount of data to load today per website/video/images is way heavier than before, but still. A simple Google search doesn’t require much more to load than 12 years ago.

No. I helped rollout 3g and 4g in my state. I configured it, tested it and performed speed tests. 3g was fine. You could usually access the internet and get done what you needed. Might get a meg or two. You might have described it as fast if you were used to nothing. 4g got you hundreds of megs, maybe up to a gig. This was fast and probably comparable to your desktop experience.
I have no idea where you are getting a 3g signal to compare. ATT, sprint, tmobile have all shut down their 3g. Verizon will soon follow suit. The support for 3g has been in decline for awhile. It isnt monitored as well as 4g. The people who installed it are gone. We dont pay the vendor for support like we once did. So if there was an outage we might not know until a customer complained. Who even has 3g, who would bother calling to say it isnt working, how many of those calls would it take to generate interest, and how would resolving it get prioritized if there were any (and i mean any) other issues to work on.
