4G Internet

So with BT and o2 teaming up to provide 4G internet into towns, cities including the countryside do you see it working?

I am carrying out a small project with my own money, bringing an 80Mbps connection 4 miles from town out to the house using some nano bridge M5s. But I do believe 4G will be coming in the next year to my area (the tower for it will be 2.5 miles away), but I can't help but think it will fall into high latency and low bandwidth category with a few people start to connect to it.

Anyone currently using 4G for their internet connection?

It will be interesting to see what areas are covered by this. At the minute I can't even get 3G at the house.

I am stuck on 2mb, so my plan is to carry a fibre connection from town to a high point and take it back to the house that way. I am using some wireless back haul gear at 5ghz for this, and in testing the lag is 2ms which isn't to bad. If I can get it up and running with the connection and get under 40ms I will be happy.
