3G mobile does give you around 4 Mbit download and 200Kbit upload that i tested on the lads orange school provided kit, you would have to make sure you are on a real unlimited FIXED BB connection though or run the risk of massive bills for per Mbit download/upload OC.
thats were wimax will be far better they are fixed cost per month data pipes .. and potentially even using a real 1/1 ratio and thats a very good thing
the other options are close your Virgin Media phoneline but keeping the single Cable modem account active and use that saved money to get a BT phoneline (dont get BT retail BB unless you want phorm spying on everythng you and your family buy and do online)installed and go for say Be* or Sky with one of their cheap TV/BB deals.
or get two BT phonelines fitted that are stated for BB use then get 2 BB accounts for your use of all the 3 Xbox260s and PC kit you want to use at the same time.
any more than this one time fitting and monthy running costs and your probably better looking at wireless point to (multi)point WISPs (wireless ISPs) and direct to data center WiMax, i dont know the current monthy costs of any service like that wereever you might be?, but if you can collect up several locals to contribute and share then it makes it really viable costs wise today,the wired internet provider isnt required today if you shop around and its getting cheaper by the month.
if Virgin Media cant or wont provide you with what you want to pay for, then these are some of your options (but your going to need to get a little tech help as noones started any small business around supplying fitting this wireless 3rd party kit as yet).
