Does your cell phone do this?

[TurboChrisB]

I've noticed for years......and it seems to be worse lately. That I'm online on my phone, watching youtube or even just looking at a forum (non video)...and it stalls....buffering, whatever. On video it buffers, on a forum, I won't be able to see the comments for as long as 10-15 seconds. But if I take it off wifi...we're good to go. And this is with a strong wifi signal.

Hell even in my house or office where I'm TEN feet from the modem and speedtesting at 50mpbs. My girlfriend notices it too. We both have iphone 7's.

WTH?

Spectum/Comcast/timewarner? I constantly had this problem when trying out Spectrum, and spectum hardware didn't last a full 7days in my house before being put in the car, and then QUICKLY taken back to the local dropoff location...

Do you have this problem w/anythng useful such as Linux-based devices, like Android, or firestick?


Do you have issues with real computers such as Windows devices(, or Linux distros)?

What router?
When was it last power-cycled at the AC side, and is AC adapter hissing, whining, or high-pitch squeeling?
2.4GHz, or 5GHz?
802.11g, or 802.11n?

I know these questions are difficult, considering you have an iPhone, but we try to help here...
AFTER we poke fun.

lol, you guys are too funny.

Lets see...

I have AT&T. Powercycled day before yesterday. NO noise from it. Had a tech out here last week cause I called to complain about the sporatic speed. He downloaded new software. Not sure how many ghz.
Don't seem to notice any issues with my laptop. Only cell phones.

TIA

I've heard some Service Providers slow down your internet speeds after a certain amount of Gigs have been used via

Go to the App Store and put one of the free speed test apps on you phone and her phone then compair the results. There could be something wrong with yours.

Maybe someone is sucking up all your WIFI speed. Did you give your passwords to anyone?

Not iphone but sometimes have the same problems. Sometimes opposite too, meaning cell stuff won't respond when on wifi, text, calls etc.

I always think it's the phone itself trying to switch back and forth between antennas.
