    3G is not wireless broadband, but they are pretty much the only ones you can use in various random locations. Avoid Three. O2 and Vodafone are your best bet. O2 have EDGE, which can give decent speeds in non 3G areas.

    Speeds, reliability, coverage will all vary on your loaction, weather, environment, number of users in the same sector, and a whole host of other things that are outside your control, and that of the operator. The caps tend to be low (5G Vodafone, 10G O2), so mass downloading will be limited.

    Think of it as better than the likes of Ripwave and Clearwire, but not quite broadband.
