        and then proceeds to draw the contrast between that definition, and the term's use in practice by conservatives -- nm - znufrii Apr 3, 10:18 1

    - Sorry (meant that's why I use wi-fi as much as possible) -- nm - Stephen, loving the Lady Irish! Apr 3, 09:49
- possibly due to throttling issues on the iPhone, plus android phones have 4G so wifi isn't much faster. - sycor Apr 3, 09:18 3
  - throttling could happen regardless of phone. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 3, 09:30
  - are the data plans similar prices between iphone and android? I'd expect carriers to gouge iphone users more causing them to try to use less bandwidth -- nm - zork Apr 3, 09:23 1
