Yesterday I was browsing the net on my phone when it suddenly stopped working. Chatted with ISP, reset my router and connection eventually came back but kept dropping. We tried a different router which is 100% working at my neighbour, it gets the same identical issue. I can do google searches but thats about it, loading sites almost always fails and if it does load it takes a minute or 2 to connect. Youtube takes about 4 minutes to load but then when a video starts it streams flawlessly.

The ISP has reset CPE and everything but doesnt seem we can get it right. I have set my dns in the router to google but also does not make a difference. Does anyone know what could be causing this and what I can get done. I can immediately test as 2 cellphones cannot browse the internet at all and the play store will not start a download they stick at "downloading". This is the most annoying and confusing thing ever
 
yeah it really does seem the same. have u come right?

Nope.

I get about 3 of 5 sites tried. I just keep refreshing until something happens. But same as you - when a video plays, it doesn't buffer or anything.

Do you get Resloving Host ?
 
yeah resolving host and it will either fail completely or eventually load, often without images. this is the strangest thing iv experienced. Speedtests are also fine when they eventually load
 
Exactly the same. Speeds are great with me too
 
For me, also occasionally. I'm on GSM now as it hasn't resolved for 5 minutes
