Village in Dorset. I get 13mb consistently, my neighbour upgraded to "superfast" and gets about 40mb (both of us with BT) The problem with 3 or 4G is contention with other users as the base station can only deliver so much even if you have a good signal. There is a village hall that I visit occasionally near Swanage and they have satellite but the speed varies tremendously and can be very slow at times and there is a latency of a couple of seconds due in part to the distance to the satellite. For just me and the wife 13Mb is more than adequate for iPlayer, Skype etc 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

If your phone line is via a junction box from the exchange your chances of fibre in the near future is reasonable (Open Reach continually move the goalposts when the time reduces to 6 months for another couple or so years) if you are on a direct to exchange line then who knows? not even Open Reach my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
