The Nomadic Worker

Using a smartphone means that my 70minute train commute to and from work each day can actually be productive time.
I use a mobile broadband 3G to WiFi router for connecting my multiple devices, and average 70MB of data usage per trip. This includes checking email, Twitter, news feeds via Flipboard, some Web browsing, rebook reading, and the occasional Google Doc editing and Google Plus Hangout on the go!

Above is a snapshot of my 3G router interface, and below are a few connectivity speed tests from different parts of the journey, which range from fast to non existent in spots!
