I used to use it everyday before I moved to the US 4 years ago mainly for sports results, quick overview of news, weather and stock numbers.<p>Now it is of course different with apps and smartphones everywhere, but the simplicity of teletext was amazing. It was so clean information without distractions, you just went on page number and the information you were looking for was there. Without ads, quite quickly. I remember checking NHL results every morning exclusively on teletext.<p>The simplicity of it is unsurpassed till these days
