I had a mobile dongle for simple things, but it was unreliable and slow, and completely unusable for any kind of backup of more than a MB or so, or for actually working through. Or you find yourself occasionally working (as I do now) in a 'managed' office, which provides a (slow again) access to a 192.168.x.0/24 with a single outside world connection shared with the rest of the building. My client there does not push enough through the net to be worth paying for his own separate connection. And no, I don't have these problems often enough for it to be worth me paying for a fast mobile connection. And I like having custody of my own data. And I use Unison for my own sync work mostly, with FreeFileSync on the Windows partitions of my mobiles. -- Joe
