This is in fact a limitation of 4G.
A single device is fine, but there is only so much bandwidth available. When you get lots of devices in the same area, something has to be limited.
- rocqua 8y agoSmaller cells allow for fewer devices per tower, does it not?
- tedunangst 8y agoUnfortunately, the density of people who don't want towers "too close to me" means we need bigger towers farther apart.
- rocqua 8y agoSmaller cells require lower signal power to prevent nearby cells from interfering.
- dzhiurgis 8y agoThat seems to be american thing. Most countries I’ve lived easily get 100mbps.
- AnssiH 8y agoYeah, in especially good conditions you can get over 800Mbps on a Galaxy S10 over here (e.g. https://bbs.io-tech.fi/threads/nettiliittymaesi-taemaenhetkinen-nopeus-keskustelua.2994/page-40#post-4773590 https://bbs.io-tech.fi/threads/nettiliittymaesi-taemaenhetki...), and over 100Mbps is normal.
