I've just moved from a PlusNet FTTC (78/18) connection back to good old ADSL2+.
Luckily I'm only 1Km from the exchange so I *should* get 19-20 down, 0.4 Up
Unluckily, I have an issue on my line at the moment, (for some reason DLM keeps setting my Downstream SNR to 0.6dB causing a bucket load of errors and even after they fix it to 3dB a few weeks later it keeps resetting itself.
Anyway, I have a 4G EE MiFi device which I picked up from Carphone Warehouse. They have the best deals on at the moment. I have a 25Gb data allowance for £30. If you buy that one 'once', you get the MiFi device free. You can at the end of the 1st month, terminate the contract and keep the MiFi or drop down to a 12Gb allowance for £10/month.
Since where I am, even inside the house on Orange I get 40Mb down, 12Mb up, if I'm doing a lot of uploading I switch to 4G. On O2 with my phone tethered, I can get 30-40Mb up/down inside the house.
With the EE plan, you can take the lower data rate for emergency use and add extra data at a relative cheap price.
I'd say take a look at the deals that Carphone warehouse have got and see if that meets your need. I did go round all the major players but couldn't beat the deals Carphone Warehouse were offering 4G wise.
