Depends (bleedin' obviously, as does cost/speed..) as it does with fixed-line BB. Incidentally, re speed/bandwidth - ignoring the signalling speed issue vs. data-rate-speed debate, what do you see as the difference .. or did you mean data-limit-per-month..

Mainly download speed and data quotas. Genuine question, it's simply something I haven't looked into. I would imagine the data quota/limit as being the limiting factor depending on what work one does.
I know that I couldn't do my job using mobile data unless it were nigh-on unlimited and at least 8Mb/s data rate, due to the volume of data I download for crunching each week.

Depends what you want. Mobile BB has one huge advantage - it's mobile!! You can use it

That is very true - but it will depend on the use that one requires, surely?
Email and general web browsing no problem, I can see that, but what if one needs more?

Despite not living in the back of beyond and having decent mobile signal, we don't have mobile broadband coverage from any network. I don't think this is unusual.
