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.

I don’t think LTE is the issue, I think it’s bandwidth. If the cell tower isn’t crowded LTE can easily hit 50+mbp or higher. 5g has higher speeds in theory but most of the time it’s bogged down like LTE and pretty similar in speed (at least in my area) due to the amount of devices trying to connect to a cell tower.
