    Same with me. Over the last few months it’s started to take tens of seconds to connect to any websites that aren’t Google, Facebook, YouTube etc. Idk what it is or why it’s happening, but it’s to the point where I’m switching ISPs because it’s wasting too much of my time.

      I’m switching ISPs

      Lucky you.

      The only other option I have is a 5G cellular network, and if my cell phone is any indication, my Internet quality when I live would not be good, as there’s just not enough towers in my area for the new tech.

          I assume you must live before 5G service was a thing

          Why would you assume that?

          I was born on the day that 5G was rolled out.

          j/k. :)
