When we have to travel, we can try to persuade IT to loan us a mobile phone card. When in Belgium it works quite well, with reasonable speed, but outside of Belgium it is generally too slow to do anything useful on WWW, unless you have text only pages.

You might ask why inside Belgium the card works so much faster? It turned ou that with the Belgian provider (Base) the card opened three connections simultaneously, thus speeding things up quite well (and of course tripling the connection costs at the same time).
