Why Is Sim-card Browsing Via Laptops Much Faster Than Phone? by INTERMAN(op): 1:06am On May 14, 2016
I am confused because anytime i browse with my laptop via the modem, the browsing speed is always very fast unlike via android which will sometimes at the same moment with the time i browse with laptop unable to connect. And if it connects, so slow. Why is that the browsing via system most of the time not affected by bad network like phones? Or is their a setting i haven't done on my phone that will have cause it to be as fast as laptop browsing?

Whenever you want to buy a phone or a modem, first check the network speed in the specification.

Your modem has better downlink than your phone.
E.g 4g modem with over 250mbps will give you faster speed than regular 4g phone with about 21mps downlink .
And vice versa.

Infact last night, I stream video online via my laptop on youtube and other websites. And it was playing as though I was watching DVD. Very fast without any scratching or hanging.

It is because a lot of noobs think that browsing speed is solely dependent on your ISP. You can never compare browsing on a laptop with browsing on a phone because the speed of browsing is a function of your processor, memory (RAM), hard drive speed (in case of downloading), your modem/router speed and finally your ISP.
And those stuffs are always higher on laptops

Geeks add the ones I forgot
