I find generally VPN's work ok these days on both public WiFi and mobile data connections. They are often used by the business customers and therefore pretty much need to be supported. SSH is different because its use is really only prevalent amongst the techs.
.. which is what makes it daft: SSH is generally low traffic, and used by the kind of people who probably "support" friends and family and therefore have disproportionate influence over their choice of networks.
What other "common" protocols open a connection, and keep it open, with very little traffic over the connection? I wonder if there's something in its characteristics. (I don't heavily use SSH over Three but when I have done so I haven't seen the problems being described here.)
