A 58% increase on last year !
Doesn't really amaze me at all. More data is being offered for less money. Stands to reason that the growth would increase as it has. I think that with the advent of 5G, more and more people will abandon their home broadband and rely on mobile broadband entirely.

58% increase in use.. I wonder what the increase in capacity was?
Now that is a good challenge, but I bet you know the answer

A slightly different take on that this weekend @Bambino
I was away and no wifi available. I don't have a large data allowance on my phone so took my pc with me complete with 3 mobile dongle. This has never failed me at all. It did this weekend. The connection kept dropping out. So not happy with that at all. 
Well @Cleoriff, 5G is supposed to sort all that out (theoretically). Unfortunately it's still probably years away in the UK, although they're supposed to be working on it. I don't even know if the spectrum has been auctioned off yet? @adamtemp64 would probably know the answer to that.

@adamtemp64lives close to where we were (I think)
The dongle was Three 3G and has worked every time we have been to Brean....but as I said on this occasion, I may as well have left it at home.
@Bambino https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/latest/media/media-releases/2018/results-auction-mobile-airwave... and some free spectrum for point to point use fixed wireless to aid 5g in the 60ghz band
brean is a few miles away @Cleoriff but historically 3 are poor in my part of somerset !

Thanks @adamtemp64, though I have used Three the last couple of times we went and had no problems.
Maybe it was because we were in a different park to Unity this year?
.
When we got home, I tried it immediately and it worked perfectly.
Out of interest, what do you suggest for a data sim in Somerset?
