I used to live in a house that was about 1.6km from the nearest FTTC cab and 8km from the exchange, just about 20 minutes drive from Glasgow. I could get very intermittent ADSL (2Mbps on a good day, typically down about 1Mbps if it was windy or rainy because of all the splices in the cable).

I switched to 4G and got 40Mbps symmetric using a Mikrotik SXT-LTE on a pole at about eaves height aiming at a mast about 5km away. It was cheaper than ADSL, too!

I think a lot of people on here are in the US where you get absolutely fucking *rinsed* for mobile data. Here in the UK it's cheap as tap water.
