The only reason I'm on mobile broadband is because I have no land broadband avaialble to me.
You would be crazy to ditch a fiber connection for a mobile one in your scenario.
I'm lucky and signal here is generally speaking, very good with almost no downtime that I remember, I connect to a mast 8 to 10 miles away with full line of sight via sea (mast is on the Isle of Wight) and I'm mainland Portsmouth.
As of last week, 250Mbps down and around 40Mbps up and very good ping (below 20ms) with 0 packet loss with Smart (Three) for £16 per month unlimited no contract.
Before it would be 80/80Mbps but I reckon something was upgraded.
The only downside for me is that I have a Huawei CPE Pro 2 that has no mast locking, only band locking and sometimes the router will connect to a crap mast near me which kills speeds for 5 to 10s which is how long it takes the router to change back.
I would take ADSL speeds (80Mbps and relatively stable) over broadband even if faster, just because of the reliability aspect of it eventhough I've been lucky so far with mobile broadband (1.5 years).
