Maybe it depends on carrier, or what's going on at the tower.
Just this past week I was camping in a remote spot on Lake Superior. No bars of service without a booster. Plug in the booster, 4 bars. But the Internet was not working. Phone showed 4G connection, had an IP address, would make and receive phone calls and SMS messages, but no Internet.
Maybe the booster was blocking Internet traffic somehow, or the tower just didn't provide Internet?
