That's fine until you hit C|Net or some other shite filled web site which is 2.8Mb to hit the front page.
That's 1097 preloads and the base 3G rate (3Gb) in the UK is used up. 1Mb after that costs about $1.50 so each subsequent preload of CNET would cost you $4.20. Does that sound fair? 3G monthly bills will hit the thousand dollar mark with little effort.
On a standard ADSL plan in the UK (5Gb), that is 1828 preloads and the data allowance is used up. After that, rate limiting kicks in which makes everything bar browsing light weight web sites unusable.
That's not many.
It's totally offensive usage of my connection and if it's turned on by default, people are going to get screwed badly.
The better experience point is a load of shit - it's a workaround for crap sites which don't load in a reasonable amount of time the first time.
It's not the browser's job to make "intelligent" decisions for me.
