With the recent news that a dodgy cable blacked out the internet for millions of people in Egypt and India, I was reminded about the mobile internet becoming more and more tempting. My connection speed is fairly slow here - being 4km from the exchange, and I fairly regularly connect up on my mobile Phone on one of Three’s tarrifs. The speed’s good, the data transfer rates suit all but the greedy video downloaders, and you know no-one’s going to put a spade through the cable!
