4G, 3G, H and H+, Why do some cellphone data ‘levels’ simply not work?

582 views

5G, 4G, sometimes I’ll be able to browse on 3G, but once I get to H or H+ nothing loads no matter how long I wait. What does H even mean? And surely it implies data is still moving, so why do browsers just give up instead of loading something slowly?

Sinc other posters have already answered what every 4g,3g, etc me I will answered why browsers give up.

It’s actually not your browser giving up but rather the server. When you ask a resource to a server it puts a timer of how long is going to be paying you attention. Why? Because if it didn’t it would be susceptible to a DDOS attack. Imagine a fast-food restaurant(the server) and you send few people that take a lot of time to place their orders, eventually the queues are going to be very long. Closing the connection would mean that if you take too long to place your order you have to start again.
