I do too, ever since I got a decent broadband service.

But I don’t use public transport very often
at all, so I don’t need to do it on that.

Speed isn't really a major consideration for me.

I would like to do some stuff offline, particularly
when waiting around for something to happen
when away from home, but I do that entirely on
the mobile/cellphone and I can't be bothered to
add a decent keyboard to that and it wouldn’t
be in synch with what I do most of the usenet
on so I don’t bother.
