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.

Websites now have immense spyware and tracking in their web code, there are a ton of different things running when you visit google and most other web sites. Pixel tracking, advertising, etc etc. Also, dont forget, 3G is being shut down, many companies have already shut down and Verizon is stopping theirs 1/2023
