3-4% of what? It's already accounting for 40% of new sales, and that's before prices were dropped by nearly 75% over the last 6 months.

The Snapdragon 800 is actually a LTE-Advanced ("true 4G") chipset and an upgraded version of the Galaxy S4 with it already exists. Originally released as Korea-only a leaked UK EE firmware for an international model has surfaced, suggesting it will be coming over here too.

In any case 100 down and 50 up on a mobile is as fast as I will ever want to go.

The S4 LTE (GT-i9505) is category 3, yes. And yes, it can readily do those speeds - both of which are faster than BT FTTC and the upload alone is ten times faster than what VM can give me even without STM
Then there's the S4 3G (GT-i9500) and S4 LTE-Advanced (GT-i9506) and the S4 active, S4 mini, and so on...
