CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 244

A user's smartphone takes longer to access websites than it did prior to a weeklong vacation. The user also observes the smartphone no longer says LTE in the corner of the screen, but it has significant improvements in speed when connected to a local hotspot. Which of the following is the cause of the symptoms the smartphone is experiencing?

Answer options

• A. Network settings
• B. Weak signal
• C. Data limits
• D. Airplane mode

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a weak signal can lead to slower internet speeds and connectivity issues, especially if the device is not showing LTE. Options A and C do not directly relate to the observed symptoms, and D is incorrect because the smartphone is not in Airplane mode if it's connecting to a hotspot.
