The problem is not the onboard equipment, its the same as used elsewhere its

a) Crazy usage levels, Irish Rail's monthly data usage bill is frightening
b) Shockingly bad coverage in places which hurts speed despite carrying 6 3G modems from 3 operators combined with a proper external antenna


I've done some tests of Irish Rail's wifi and managed to get over 6Mb on a train so the tech does work
