I travel a lot. Multiple states. 125k miles a year. I am on a budget carrier. Cellphone speeds only seem, to me, to be slowing in areas with heavy tower traffic. Makes sense. More people with phones than ever. More data intensive games and social media being consumed on all of them. Towers not being built or upgraded as fast as they could be. And of course, the budget carriers do get pushed to the back when congestion is up. The best place to watch netflicks on your phone is out in BFE by yourself. A tower with low traffic never slows down. You can also notice service differences by day of the week. Sunday evening, when everyone is home instead of bar hopping and eating out is the worst time to be online as far as service quality goes.
