I'd be delighted if my *fixed line* broadband would deliver those speeds. Sodding Barrett home with its shoddy wiring...

The research is valid, however I would have thought it obvious. Trying to connect my Nokia E71 in London resulted in GPRS speeds.

The infrastructure just isn't available - the simple fact is it costs money the networks do not want to spend.

No 'News' there then, nothing we all haven't been experiencing and complaining about for years since the roll-out of the much lauded 3G networks.

LTE won't help at all if it suffers the same cr@ppy contention ratios experienced on the 3G networks. Current technology is more than capable of dishing out acceptable, even reasonable net speeds, but only if there is a substantial enough network in place to cope, and substantial financial backing to fund its continual roll out and evolution.

I'd rather have consistent, fast and reliable 2G/3G signal coverage nation wide, which covers ALL areas with any population, than a few super fast LTE areas and nowt in the rest of Britain.
