Myself, if I must choose what I want most, I would prefer control over my machines, myself, my connection, etc. I have a pretty fast connection (sometimes 2 mbps or more), but it comes with the place, so I am not the network admin. For the past 7 or 8 years we have had the same wifi password, which is only 8 characters long, all alphanumeric, all caps or numbers, living in an area that is already saturated with technology and ubergeeks. I feel sure that every script kiddie within range has already cracked our password. During the day, the network is often unusable for hours on end; at night it is usually better. Even so, my system often comes to a complete halt for 5 minutes or more, often for more than an hour, and I can do nothing but reboot and lose my work. Sometimes, after waiting for what seems an eternity longer and more excruciating than the philosophers and theologians could ever imagine, I am at last abruptly disconnected from the network. At other times, I manually disconnect from the network using iwconfig, but tdenetworkmanager shows that I am still connected ... until at last the icon shows me offline. There are worse things than having a slow connection; for example, having no control over your connection.
