    If you are Mobile, then you need O2, Vodafone, Meteor or 3. Imagine's is a localised Nomadic with poor building penetration as it's much higher frequency than 3g (3.5GHz cf. 2.1GHz). Imagine don't have a national licence, but only licenced circles of coverage.

    All mobile is "up to" where the quoted speed is total capacity close to mast. At the variable cell edge it's only 0.12Mbps. All the capacity is shared so if the mast has 10 viewers of Youtube the 11th person could easily get 1/20th to 1/100th of the quoted "up to speed".

    If access is always from one place, then you should get Fixed Broadband. The Mobile services are Mobile Internet, using the Mobile Phone network, not broadband.

    The best of the four mobile operators depends exactly where you are and can change in a few weeks or months.
