Here are some numbers to think about:

Music streaming (average quality, 160Kbps): 1.2MB per minute, 72MB per hour
Music streaming/downloading (320Kbps): 2.4MB per minute, 144MB per hour
iPlayer video: 50MB to 225MB per hour
Netflix video, SD: up to 0.7GB per hour
Netflix video, HD: 1GB to 2.8GB per hour
Photo uploading: 5MB per photo
Online gaming: 5MB per hour

I'm happy to say I don't really do any of that on my mobile devices.

I'd need no more with 4G than I do with 3G. I just wouldn't need to spend as long waiting to get it.

500MB a month is fine for me. I use Wi-Fi when I'm in data gobbling mode.

But the point is, 4G is probably faster than people's home broadband. 4G is 150mbps over here and Kabel Deutschland has only been rolling out 100mbps for the last 6 months. That means the average person will get much faster data delivery over 4G than over Wi-Fi, unless they are accessing servers on a local network over 802.11n...

If 4G turns out like 3G/HPSA+ in the UK, then you won't get that quality signal in many places. In the countryside GPRS is the norm.

I do not need much most months but occasionally my internet connection via wifi drops out when streaming the radio and that means I switch to 3G

I use as much 3g as I want as I'm on an all you can eat data plan for £18 a month.
