What people fail to consider is even with the high end smartphones, how do we know you are guranteed full speed 4G all the time? The network speed varies greatly in various places (in the subway, through the tunnels etc) and more often that not, we have sucky network speeds even though we are on "4G"

I suppose it depends on how much you want to put effort into optimizing a single app for all users, rather than having a lite version of the site.

For my company, we serve images and video. Even multi megabyte JavaScript only equals one minute of a 720p videos runtime.

For people on restricted connections, we have a lite versions with less than 100k JavaScript and videos transcoded to 260p.
