I pick my XC60 up tomorrow and it has this Internet option in it (according to the salesman), but other than tethering to my mobile when I'm out and about, I probably won't ever use it, and even the tethering is likely to be used a negligible amount.

Am I missing something?

I was a little sceptical at 1st with this feature on my latest MY16 but soon changed:
1. The signal is stronger than on my iPhone 6 as the car's internet connection uses the car's built in roof aerial.
2. Allows my passengers to use the car's built in wifi connection with its stronger signal.
