📊 LTE Speed Comparison:
⚡ LTE: Up to 100 Mbps download, 50 Mbps upload
⚡ True 4G: Faster than LTE, varies by carrier
⚡ 5G: Can reach gigabit speeds (1000+ Mbps)

🔸 No strong 5G or 4G signal in your area
🔸 Network congestion or temporary issues with nearby towers
🔸 Your phone settings may not be set to the fastest available option
