Are you saying that people in New Zealand only use tablets for work? There are no personal tablets?
Or are you trying to tell us that people in New Zealand don't do anything but work. Don't read, don't have personal email...

I was just responding to (and quoted) another poster who made a comment sounding like a claim that tablets were not much used in business. I was not claiming anything apart from addressing that for their possible interest.
Of course tablets are widely used for personal interests here - personal email, games, reading, video, news, social media, etc., etc., just as most everywhere else.
Similarly as John F mentioned, here
in public smartphones are far more commonly used for those things. Smartphones are also, of course, widely used in business too; of course for emails, but also with, say, an attached card reader for online payments by debtors, etc., etc.

No I am using our private home internet connection. As is pretty common around here fibre comes into the house, 1 Gigabit/sec max., unlimited volume. Here optical fibre to and into the house, the internal optical network terminal, the physical connection for VOIP and integration of internal copper POTs telephone cabling, plus the router for WiFi/Ethernet are all generally provided at no cost to the home owner. LAN is 1 Gigabit/sec Ethernet throughout the house plus 802.11n WiFi because that capability is what we are given. If I am not at home I use 4G cellular data. If I am outside of cellular coverage for any extended period (which happens when we are away sailing) I use HF radio for email. If I am working in a client's premises I only use their internet for purposes related to their own business operations. So I have no need to rely on or abuse anyone else's internet connection. Sorry, you did ask so I tried to cover all bases for you
