I appreciate this is coming from a UK perspective and that not everyone is this lucky, but I don't remember the last time I used public WiFi on my phone thanks to a general mistrust of it and the fact that 4G (or at least HSPA+) has very good coverage here.

Same here (Devon, UK) — although I do use the WiFi we have on buses here, and occasionally when in cafés.

This is about WiFi "protected" with WPA2: basically treat it as suspiciously as you would any public WiFi.

If you choose not to use public WiFi because you can't "trust" it, then you now need to stop using your private WiFi too (until your systems get appropriate patches).

Don't forget the fact that carriers are now snooping your 4G data and selling it to advertisers. It has been a bad week for privacy.
