   really depends on where you are. And many places the free wifi is much   
   slower than the mobile network.   
      
   For example, at a nearby restaurant the free wifi is 25KB/s down. Yes,   
   25KB/s. That is so slow that most things you try to do time out before   
   they can be completed. Granted, that is unusually slow, but speeds well   
   under broadband thresholds are very common.

   I normally use 5-10GB a month by myself.
