I was hoping to VPN while on the way to an interview (Stockport-Euston) tomorrow so I could bill for the day as well as being able to go for the interview. Anybody tried the wifi on there? Is it reliable?

Wifi is reliable but not the fastest. It also depends on your VPN. My current client's VPN insists on updating itself when you connect on VPN, and that can be damn slow on the train. Once it connects, howver, its fine for small files and email.Comment
