There are large chunks of "non-coastal America" where outside of the cities, internet connectivity is still absolute trash. We have the benefit in the UK of being small (land area wise) and densely populated so (relatively) high speed internet coverage hasn't been too difficult to achieve. Though other countries have significantly faster networks than we do .
Anyway - the big difference now is 4g/5g wireless connectivity making it much easier to get good speeds without laying cable, so less densely populated areas can catch up more easily. |

You'll be on FTTC (fibre to the cabinet, traditional phone lines to the house) not FTTD (fibre to the door) which I suspect is what Bots might be talking about.
It's a ****tonne faster than OG fibre optic and I am jealous |

5g is already faster in terms of data transfer than cabinet fibre, but pings are trash. |

I don't get fast speeds on my phone through wifi unless I turn flight mode on and off.
Does anyone have that problem? |

OR, giving it some extra thought, it could be your router doing a bad job of assigning your phone an IP address, and a disconnect/reconnect is nudging it into giving a new one. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 17-11-2020 at 12:23 PM. |

If it is that you could go into your router settings, find the phone in devices, and give it a dedicated static IP.
