Public bug reported:
When you change repositories and close the Software Sources window, a
dialog pops-up telling you to update the APT cache. I think that it
could be done automatically _unless_ the user is on mobile broadband.
If the user is not on mobile broadband I guess there is no other reason
not to.
if is_on_mobile_broadband(): aptitude update
else: <display "cache not updated because you're on mobile broadband"
notification>
That would be both an usability and convenience win.

convenience, unless on mobile broadband
