As a regular user of 3g broadband for work, its great when you have no other connection - but unless you live under one of the masts, don't expect to get faster-than-copper connections - they sometimes leave a lot to be desired.
Unfortunately a lot of the people who, because of the "digital divide", cannot get DSL broadband also live in rural area's where 3g reception is also patchy - so they won't be switching.
I certainly won't be swapping my 16mb DSL connection for something around 1/4 of the speed.
And Roy, try googling 3g router - you'll be surprised.
