I do not use my cell phone for Internet access. One reason is that i shun cell phones anyways. We have a proverb in german, translated it is "one who is always available is part of the domestic staff" (Wer immer erreichbar ist, gehört zum Personal.). IMHO there is simply no reason to be available and contactable 24 hours per day. We had no cell phones 15 years ago and earth was still revolving even despite this appalling shortcoming.
A second reason is the exorbitant rates the cell phone companies charge for internet access. I simply am not willing to pay another 30-40$ per month for something i have for free in the office and for 5$/month at home. I can live with being offline for the time it takes to commute to the office and back.
