Hi @98psmith ,
From a practical perspective, if your choices are between 3 Mbps and 0 Mbps, you may wish to see which service provider performs best using the OpenSignal app and considering going with 4G LTE mobile broadband if your main consideration is bandwidth.
Latency and stability for gaming and video conferencing may not be as good as the average fixed line connection but I suspect may be competitive with a line that delivers only 3 Mbps as I suspect there are physical issues for why the performance does not approach a more normal number.
I currently see the below performance on 4G LTE mobile broadband and it counts as a slow day. (I've seen as high as 81 Mbps and the below result included a burst of 77 Mbps measured by OpenWRT.)

Unrelatedly, I'm in an area where Virgin Media do not offer their services and additionally OpenReach does not offer its services. The developer's ISP Fibre Nest is the only fixed line option (FTTP) but I've chosen instead to go for 4G LTE mobile broadband to get higher bandwidths (and a greater choice of providers) for a particular price point (giving up 12 ms latency and a routable IPv4 address).
