3G twelve years ago was fast. Today if you get a full 3G reception you can barely load Google’s landing page. Why’s that?

Question

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.

Answer 1

Loading speed has nothing to do with 3G or 5G.
Downloading a HUGE file does. So maybe it takes you an hour to download a movie on 3G, it will only take ten mins on 5G.

Being ‘faster’ a marketing scam.
