Eli5: why can’t phones use cellular and WiFi at the same time to load things faster?

265 viewsOtherTechnology

I was watching something on my phone and turned off my WiFi so that cellular data could load it instead (which was quicker at the time). But if it can use both separately then why can’t my phone do both at once and load things faster?

It might actually take longer. Cellular data and WiFi data transmit data differently….so it’s not just 1 tube for data is now 2 tubes.

It would be picture a contains 10 lines.  Line 1-5 go through steps a-h. And at the same time lines 6-10 go through stems m-t…..then combine those two sets of lines.

This is slower than: connection type 1 is faster; decode 10 lines through steps a-h
