I noticed Arriva trains (now Transport for Wales) have changed their policy on board wifi usage. I had problems with it in the past…
Had to optimise picture down because uploading it is eating into my left over data on Arriva Trains. Note I'm got 3hrs left of my journey pic.twitter.com/7KZ9rOLpi5

Have to say the Free wifi 20meg limit on Arriva trains seems to be something of a joke? Hit 15meg before I hit Stockport!

Now instead of cutting you off when you hit the shocking amount of 20meg (yes you heard me right – 20meg!) They throttle the internet to your device at 20meg.
Its still not ideal but I do feel its a better compromise that cutting the internet completely. Especially because frankly the signal from tethered phones during the journey through south Wales can be pretty poor for miles and miles.
