I, as MJ has said, also use a 4G modem and an external aeriel on a mast attached to my bungalow's chimney. I use to get 6Mb over my phone line, I now average in the high 30s up, high teens down and mid 30s for latency.
Using a mixture of WiFi (4 APs, 2 in the house, one in workshop/garage and one further up the property), ethernet over power (to link the external WiFi APs to the house) and ethernet within the house to link the WiFi APs and high bandwidth users like the NAS, AV and other, non WiFi, stuff. Because I live in a valley climbing up to the moors I only have line of sight with one tower. If I walk up the valley until I am above the height of my aeriel I have recorded speeds of 70Mb! However, as the geeks will know, the higher my aeriel, the longer the wire and the greater the loss over that length of wire and the greater the costs to overcome that loss with high gain aeriels and low loss cable. 30Mb is fine for streaming HD. We have an unlimited tarrif with 3 at £18 a month and have not watched any terrestrial/satellite TV since we started the tarrif, we stream everything now.
