If LTE was the benchmark for mobile speed back in 2008, why is it seem virtually useless in 2024?

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.

Not sure where you guys are living, but I am still getting great speed with 4G. In all over Europe.
