Yes, however, all of the mobile internet providers are censored with the infamous Wikipedia-blocking UK internet filter, and it can't be turned off.

This is only because our mobile market is so small that we only have 3 providers and they are all subsidiaries of global companies (O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone) with headquarters under different jurisdictions. This is not enforced by our government and if anyone wanted to circumvent this filter (which would be easy - VPN would do) AFAIK it would not be illegal here.
