Strange. I consistently get over 100Mbps on LTE in the city. Maybe there is bad coverage on your carrier where you are. Check Open Signal to see if you’re in the ideal carrier. Are you on an MVNO like Metro or Cricket?

It's more likely they just lack either spectrum and/or backhaul to the tower where they are. For example, TMobile in many areas has only 1gbps to many towers despite sharing that spectrum across 3 or even 4 sets of panels. Where I am, the spectrum itself could easily support 1.5-2Gbps or more per sector on the tower, but they'd need at least 10Gbps to allow each sector to max out the deployed spectrum.

That’s true. Time of day is a huge factor.
