Very true. Just today, I had to use an old 3G phone tethered to my laptop for data connection and found my ping times to be in orders of 5-10 seconds and at sporadic intervals in between data was getting sent/received in bursts at much lower latencies. It wasn't fun trying to get work done on such a connection.
