4G should be able to give pings much lower than 150ms. The internet says 50ms I have seen even faster. Maybe you can try another provider.
I’m showing a consistent ~150ms to all nearby servers right now on T-mobile. Either way, it’s more than 10x difference. 50ms vs 5ms is the difference between being able to game and not.
Here's a speedtest over 4G LTE... Serbia with Telenor. https://www.speedtest.net/result/8133950542
I have a mobile provider that uses their network here in Norway, I got 171/40 and 22 ms ping. I'm in the countryside approximately 50 km from Oslo.

34ms on Verizon with an iPhone XS in the burbs.

Crazy, I didn't know Telenor was in Serbia. I have a mobile provider that uses their network here in Norway, I got 171/40 and 22 ms ping. I'm in the countryside approximately 50 km from Oslo.
Clearly the solution is for Verizon to call their network "6G E"

Fuck everything, we're doing 7G.

Don’t most mobile carriers cap at 5GB?
No. Most unlimited plans start deprioritization after 22GB.
From what I can see and from the Sprint CTO's comments, the deprioritization happens on radio layer working on slices of around 30ms. If you are near cell edge, the scheduler will assign you less physical resource blocks. This deprioritization will affect you much less if you are near the tower as higher orders of modulation and less error correction plays into it. (Think out of a possible 100 or so blocks you could be assigned in a given timeframe, the blocks can either be slow due to poor radio conditions or fast)
From my year or so of having a dedicated testing phone on T-Mobile, I can feel confident in saying what they say is true about speeds only being affected on congested sectors (not the full tower or region). Sprint I haven't had as much time with so I can only go with what they say is the case.

Presumably it comes from a combination of things, e.g. 1. Streaming higher quality video. 2. Using mobile more often instead of needing to find WiFi. 3. Changing behavior to do things that you couldn’t before on a slower connection. 4. Faster rate of consumption due to faster load times.
I do all those things, and in two months I’ve used 17 gigs on my iPhone XR. I’ve got eight devices on a Verizon unlimited plan with 25G soft cap, and I’ve never come up to the point where I’ve been throttled.
