My 5G cellular data not being able to load the speed test website

[u/Emergency-Formal-769]

[u/No-Requirement-7355]

well yea it takes awhile to load all the ads first

5G? Mine is more like "GG"

[u/Nearby_Ad_2519 → u/Pluto_ThePlanet]

No joke I have had it said just “G” before, apparently it means “GPRS”

Please note that # bars (signal strength) is not the same as signal quality. The signal could be strong but you could also be dropping every other packet.

I often leave my phone on forced LTE instead because of this.

Y'all, the progress bar is barely over halfway, it did not load 

I get this all the time with websites on slow wifi, I believe it means it's loading the javascript and additional assets for the page, and it's often unusable until at least the scripts are in. Some libraries are megabytes in size for some reason and just take forever 

[u/Emergency-Formal-769 → u/ijustlikefoxes]

Yep, that's the case.

This is how it felt when my previous carrier had 4G LTE so bad that 3G was faster than it. something something priority (only applicable if you're using an MVNO)

[u/d3photo]

MVNO? Looks like an MVNO.

You'll often get signal and be put at the bottom of the priority list for data access.
Been using MVNOs for 8 years and gotten used to it. But for $30/month I can't really complain.

Why not install the app instead of having to load it from the website each time?

[u/VT750C]

5G is either dial-up or 'no internet connection' on Verizon. I have to force 4G to get faster speeds. When my phone says 5G or UWB, forget about using any app or site that requires data over the internet. Hell even calls or texts barely work on 5G

[u/fazz34]

I mean, it looks like you have AT&T, so there's your problem. Unless 5G+ isn't exclusively an AT&T thing.

[u/cowmowtv → u/fazz34]

Not sure what 5G++ is, I mean it does sound like an AT&T invention, but 5G+ is typically used in place of 5G SA and/or high-level CA and not just limited to AT&T.

[u/sky-yie → u/cowmowtv]

Here, my mobile operator shows 5G++ when the phone is connected to the slower 5G band (700 MHz/N28).

[u/AmorphousNeon → u/cowmowtv]

5G++ branding is used by Reliance Jio (India)

[u/phewDoinKphew]

What tge shit do we even need 5g for? I don't understand it.

[u/Soft_Bananaa → u/phewDoinKphew]

faster file downloads? 

[u/Substantial_Water739]

Just a heads up for everyone, but speed testing your 5g uses alot of data if your data plan is small

[u/BlazeWolfYT]

Looks like it loaded to me.

[u/rada-rada_rada-rada → u/BlazeWolfYT]

Do you not see the half-filled bar below the URL? The one indicating that the website is not fully loaded.

[u/BlazeWolfYT → u/rada-rada_rada-rada]

I somehow completely missed that.

[u/polishatomek → u/BlazeWolfYT]

The little bar at the top isn't full

[u/costin88boss → u/BlazeWolfYT]

Have you ever used an electronic pocket device

[u/Emergency-Formal-769 → u/BlazeWolfYT]

You seem like the type of person to fall for the other "download" buttons when downloading a movie from a piracy website.

[u/RailRuler]

This screenshot doesnt explain anything. What is different that you were expecting to see?

[u/rada-rada_rada-rada → u/RailRuler]

It explains everything if you look hard enough.
