I can't see that being much of an option really as mobile providers insist on pathetically low caps on usage.
4G will eat up most allowances in minutes.

I did the test and mine said 0.22 Mbps upload and 0.49 Mbps download. What does that mean?

It means ur download is about half a meg in common terms and your upload is about a quarter meg.

The uk average download is now around 7 meg so you are WAY below what most people get, i feel very sorry for you.
As you can see from mine i get way beyond the average at over 50meg.

Your speed would be enough for me to consider moving house as i love my internet access and use it heavily. As you said previously it is fine for a bit of browsing and emails but as the internet develops you are going to suffer if they don't do something.

Snapzzz - if the technology is there but it's just too expensive at the moment, don't you think maybe one day Sky will be able to offer broadband through their dish?

No, i can't see that ever happening i am afraid. Even if they funded two way dishes (expensive) it would need a ridiculous amount of bandwidth on the satellite which i doubt it could cope with.

Click this link and run a test, it will tell you. http://www.speedtest.net

Here is my result, its slightly low as i am on wireless in my bed!

In rural Norfolk my exchange isn't on the 2013 or 2014 projection for fibre to the cabinet and 3G mobile is non existent (I use a fem to cell to get a mobile signal at home).

Do you farm types call your wireless network 'get off my LAN' ?
