Yeah, that's my experience.

I travel a lot, too, Middle East, Far East, Africa, all over the place, 
and I connect with wifi (or my work-issued satphone up-link) almost 
seamlessly, even in Third World locales where one might expect 
difficulty connecting.

I haven't used a dial-up modem in many years.

Good Riddance!
