Mobile performance is extremely sensitive to how many users there are, including voice calls. Since the maximum realistic number of users is at least 1/10th of cable segment channel or fixed wireless or even 1/100th of a DSL system *AND* the speed varies up to full peak capacity, you can get 100:1 speed variation in a period of 1/2 hour, but real broadband only varies by about 2:1 and only between peak and off peak.
