Why are the mobile companies not delivering on their promises? Why is speed and stability still an issue? We have so many providers and so many options all promising us a hassle-free future, but all there are is connectivity problems. Is there a technical reason why speeds are always so random? I'm not looking for any concrete answers, I know that there aren't any. I would just like some insight from everyone on the forums.

Because it is wireless. Wireless is vulnerable to outside factors etc that fixed line internet is not.

I dont really care much - so long as I am able to do what I need to do on the net - without any significant degrade in performance - i am happy

So stability is more important for me - rather than out and out speed (max rated speed supposed to be 7.2Mb for me)
Thank god i moved off of that DO 384 - waste of money and slow as hell - I can happily manage my cap on wireless, with speeds ranging from 3Mb to 5Mb is more than enough for me (location location location)
