Definitely check out Mosh. It's a (roughly! Don't yell at me:) layer ontop of SSH that uses the normal protocol for the initial connection, but after that it uses a UDP based protocol that is heavily tuned for poor network environments. That, ontop of a whole host of other reasons, is why it's amazing. Absolutely love it, and have been using it every day for over a year now. Despite frequent internet drops (yay, comcast) and laptop closures, i only reconnect to the server when i reboot my laptop (maybe once a month, at best). It's neato! edit: Note that my "server" work is my IDE (vim), and many panes of tmux, etcetc. Basically all my work. So it's used over 50h a week.
