Uh, whut? I expect my ssh sessions to survive a 4G->3G handover, and if 
they happen to go over IPv6, I want them to survive.

The important reason to upgrade is to get higher speeds, not to get access 
to new L3 tech.

I don't agree with you at all. I don't believe I would lose the stream 
when doing that handoff in our network, it might buffer some more (because 
EDGE is slower than HSDPA), but you wouldn't lose the stream.

Consistent behaviour (apart from speed) on all networks is really 
important for me, and I'd imagine it is for most users as well.
