Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?
I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThis tower has about a 20km radius on average due to topography, covers a stretch of the New England Highway and also covers the nearby village of Black Mountain. A good few hundred phones will be in range I expect.
The tower also has cells for Optus and Vodafone, but they are a significant minority of customers in this area.

This sounds like an issue with the carriers not actually putting in more towers to properly handle the load though. Aka greed.
