CIPSERVER working but very slow to open new connection

[taylorsatula]

Somehow the library does not have CIPSERVER built in. When I have a free moment I'll bundle something nice and request a merge but for now I'm working with my own DIY code. (TIP for people stumbling across this post someday: CIPMUX=1 must be set before network settings or APN and you must use CISFR to request an IP before starting the server)

I am running into an issue with my SIM7000A and the Hologram network. I send data from the console to my device and it takes like 15-20 seconds for it to pop up on my serial monitor. My device is set up correctly. I poll the connection status with CIPSTATUS repeatedly and it says CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CONNECTED and then the data arrives milliseconds later. I wish I had more information but it's kind of a black box issue. Has anyone else experienced this issue? What did you do to solve it?
