And three want us to pay a premium now

All I would say is EE, double our speeds and data allowance

That would be in excess of 1GB in 3 seconds.

EE's current free 100GB per month PAYG offer based on speeds of 40 mbps and over will not last even 45 minutes if you use a 4G phone.

I think I will stick with my 3G devices for now.

The operators need to slow the 4G down considerably before unsuspecting data users run out of their monthly data allowance well before lunchtime on the 1st day of the month.

Unless you're downloading large amounts of files, how would it make a difference?

If your YouTube video completely buffers in half the time, it doesn't change the length of the video/how long it takes you to watch it.
If you have double the speed, the song you're streaming on Spotify will still take use the same amount of data and take the same amount of time to listen to.
It doesn't matter how fast your connection is, Facebook will still load the same new posts, photos etc.

Simply having a faster connection will not cause people's usage to increase dramatically.
It's still a mobile connection, the vast majority of customers are not torrenting or using P2P, they don't use their handsets to download large quantities of files etc like they would on a home broadband connection.

I think you're confusing mbps with MB/s, 450mbps is 56MB/s, however you'd still use 1GB in less than 10 seconds at those speeds

Except of course faster speeds (and higher resolution screens) may mean:
1 - YouTube videos in higher resolution / better quality.
2 - Spotify using higer bitrates.
3 - Facebook loading higher resolution images / videos (which remember by default autoplay).
All of which do use more data.

And of course, faster speeds also mean people will be more likely to do things over the mobile network that previously they couldn't (or didn't want to do cos the network wasn't reliable enough) like streaming iPlayer videos (which I know is possible over even 3G, but at least in my experience isn't that reliable, so atm I usually download the stuff I want to watch over my home WiFi).

So yeah, the extra speed itself doesn't use more data, but faster speeds make it a lot more likely the more data will be used.

In theory the new Gobi 9x45 modern should allow the CA of TDD and FDD spectrum so will be important for the winners of the 2300MHz auction next year and Vodafone.

If BT buy EE do we think they might offer unlimited data or at least much better usage caps?

Well EE is already leaning towards a data cap shake up but Three will be the only "Unlimited" handset tarrif provider of the main networks. BT is unlikely to be any different in regards to handset & tablet tarrifs.
