I have 4G and a top end phone, and mobile web is getting worse by the day.
The first solution is not AMP. The first solution is to go back to when a web page was a "page", not a program made up of cobbled together bits of JavaScript.
Cookie preference popups, join the newsletter popups, animated or dynamic ads, and everything else stupid websites do that causes the browser's rendering engine to grind away non-stop...
The current user experience is worse than I think it ever was.
But as other posters have comments, AMP is probably intended to be a control and data tracking system first, with user experience being second or lower priority.
