I'm a student so the cost factor is pretty important.  I only ever
travel for educational purposes (eg Linux Conference in Sydney in
Janurary) and family things.  If I had mobile internet connectivity then
time spent waiting wouldn't be a problem (providing I wasn't in a place
where someone was likely to steal my hardware).

Their low frequency has lost my patronage with them every time (twice)
when I've come back from the airport alone.  It's funny to think that I
got home half an hour before their damn bus even left the airport.
