I haven't really paid much attention because I don't use my phone's browser much. my phone is shite I get 288 Mb/s download on my PC via wifi. it's probably much less for a smart phone but still MUCH faster than 7Mbs --- Wake up.

uwnim 10/24/20 8:06:39 PM #8:	AzurexNightmare posted... Oh wait I'm a moron... So with phone data mbps is megabits and with wifi it's megabytes? I'm lost Both are megabits. But your wifi is likely significantly faster than 7Mbps. Like a lot of companies don't sell home internet plans that offer speeds anywhere near that low, so even after sharing it with other folks and delay from wifi and whatnot, you should be looking at over 10x the speed. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.
