LTE was touted as the fastest data connection when it was released in the US back in 2008 (as I recall)…but is now just about useless on some of the same sites in 2024.
Is it that they’re sun setting the technology and there’s not as much bandwidth available? Or, have modern websites bumped up their need for resources that much that LTE is no longer fast enough to power them?
It seems like a simple Google search on LTE is just about unusable. Even Craigslist, which doesn’t seem to have changed much in the past 20 years, barely loads.

LTE is still very useful. There are really very few use cases where you need more than the ca. 300 Mb/s that you can reasonably get out of an LTE uplink.
G5 has some other advantages, like (potentially) shorter ping times (good for fast-pace multiplayer games), more bandwidth to share (good if you live in a crowded environment) … but LTE is far from “useless”.
