I’d also suggest that while 4G is all fine and dandy for browsing and streaming it’s a bit crappy for anything that needs a low latency connection (hello gaming) because it has a much higher ping than the equivalent wireline.

IME my best 4G ping at home is around 30ms (100ms+ on 3G) whereas FTTC is usually around 8ms.
