Your 3G phone may not have been broken, but using it was like driving a tractor or horse-drawn buggy on a freeway. RF spectrum with propagation characteristics

Your 3G phone may not have been broken, but using it was like driving a tractor or horse-drawn buggy on a freeway. RF spectrum with propagation characteristics amenable to cellular networks is a precious finite resource, and older, slower radio protocols are downright wasteful to keep operating when LTE and 5G can accommodate more customers and more voice/data throughput with the same bandwidth.
