<p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>What do you want for free?</p> <p>You can always demand your money back!</p> <p>Free WiFi should always fall under the category "nice to have". If you have to have an internet connection, bring your own 3G or 4G device!</p> <p>BTW, the airlines don't give it away, they charge. Amtrak should think about doing the same, once they can insure they have enough bandwidth. Maybe charge half what the airlines do....and give it away in business class. [/quote]</p> <p>If anyone should be charging for an extra, given its annual losses, it is Amtrak. </p> <p>With a little planning, I don't need wifi on a train, plane or bus. I own a Nook and a Kindle that are wifi enabled. I make sure before travelling that I have the books and newspapers that I want loaded on the device(s). I don't carry a laptop with me anymore because I am retired. However, it too could be preloaded with whatever I needed prior to travel. It is hard to understand why most people would need wifi during a three hour train ride or airplane ride. But if they do, they should pay for it.</p> <p>On a recent trip to California, I tested my wifi connection on a Surfliner train between Anaheim and San Diego just see if it would work. It worked fine. No problem. </p> <p> </p>
