I live in Scotland, anywhere too far out of a town or city is gprs, or edge of you're lucky. The majority of the country is a bloody dead spot. A lot of the places we go to for various reasons, you're lucky if you can get a cell signal at all and a whole lot of them don't have broadband of any kind.
Rural UK in general is pretty bad but there's plans to improve it. I'll probably be deid by the time they finally get round to it though 😀
icloud cannot store any file format and able to access those instant...at 3g level speed...so for ipad pro to replace our pc, we need 1 T storage

Now you're just being silly. It needs to be 4TB at least 😉
Kidding aside, I use a Kingston MobileLite Wireless G3. It's a bloody godsend.

I still unsure of what to do. I store a lot of music on my iPad but also on my iPhone so I could delete the music from my iPad. I've always managed with 128 GB ever since it's been available, it's just the option now of moving to 256.
As I write this I have 21.5 GB available. I don't think I'd give it a second thought if the 256 GB was ant available. Damn you Apple!
Anyway, where do you guys keep your music? Any advice?
I guess it really depends? I barely listen to music and therefore I don't store music on my iPad. So I can't justify storing music on my iPad for nothing when I can just use that space for something else (I.e movies)
I generally don't keep music on my iPad and have it all on my iPhone 6S Plus.
I also keep my music on my smartphone, not my Air 2. At home, I use the MusicStreamer app on my iPad to stream music I have stored on network storage. It's a great app, the only one I have seen that allows for making playlists with music not stored locally.

20GB of free space really isn't much at all, especially if you plan on adding more music and apps

My thinking now is that I could get rid of 24.4 GB by deleting the music from iPad and just keep it on my iPhone? Seems to make sense?

Sure, but I personally like all my music on my iPad HD, my next iPhone will be 128GB also so I can do the same thing

So how would I store my music without having it download onto my iPP directly, is it possible to just stream the music from iCloud? That's one thing that always confused me, (people streaming music to their iOS devices... and without quality issues.)

But that is only because I haven't made up my mind what to put on my 256GB IPP.
In all seriousness I have no plans to store all my music, simply because I have too much to store. I will only pick some highlights and just change it when I want something different.

My iPhone is a much better music player than my iPad. You need a small device to take around and connect a headset and not a big display. That's better for movies....
