In short as of this Friday:
Speed is very sporadic and depending on time of day and location, far from the 95% coverage and speeds promissed
VPN works in some cells as pure PPTP only, add IPSEC and no VPN possible
SMTP is out of the question as most providers have blocked the IP used by 3's ISP as SPAM
Exchange is only possible via RCP over HTTP as direct exchange connections don't work (3 says Outlook won't work, but that is wrong, it works with RCP over HTTP just not as direct connection).
Netmeeting/Live Meeting still does not work
Web Suring works with different results depending on how sensetive your browser is and several refreshes of the page might be needed
Downloading works only if you use and agressive download manager and acceppt several hunderd retries and have a lot of time as it's slow on sub-dialup speeds
Peer to Peer (yes there are legal applications like Joost or SkyAnytime) don't work at all.
OnlineBanking etc. which uses https and forms you better don't try because submitting a form don't work.
In summary you pay for broadband and you get subdialup with limited surfing ability. Reminds me of Clearwire in Ireland.
