I don't recall replying to it and I'm somewhat disinterested at present.
Almost everywhere I go I have more than ample connectivity via my iPhone
and that includes using it as a hotspot for my laptop, iPad or in one 2
week long case for my SO's iPhone...
IME where free WiFi exists it's of very variable quality and often over
subscribed to the point of near uselessness. Why, when I travel, I
often purchase a SIM for a local telCo - unless on vacation where I tend
to tune out as much as possible.
