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.

We have more powerful devices that demand more data at faster speeds.
It’s all a matter of perspective and what we’re used to. In the days of dial up, after the few minutes it took to make a connection, we’d still be happy with an image that loaded in 1 minute. Nowadays we have several apps actively streaming or downloading data, and are unhappy about a page that doesn’t load in 1 second.
