ELI5: Why is a 4g connection almost useless now when a few years ago it was perfectly fine for streaming audio and video?

Whenever my phone shows an LTE connection, I have really fast speeds and can stream anything. If I drop to a 4g connection, and can barely load text.

When 4G was "cool" there were very few users.  Now there are lots, far too many, and LTE seeks to move traffic out of 4G except for edge areas with poor access.  Alas, when you're there, everybody in the area is 4G and data users are much, much more common.  So, yes, it is un-excellent.
