Is there free internet on VIA Rail?

Does VIA Rail offer complimentary Wi-Fi or internet service?

VIA Rail does offer free Wi-Fi. You'll find this complimentary internet service on most trains, in their Business lounges, and at select stations.

Honestly, I remember being kinda worried about staying connected last December 12th, heading from Montreal to Quebec City. The ticket was somethin' like 80 bucks, I think? I had this important email to send. So, finding out there was free Wi-Fi was like, a huge relief. It made the journey feel way less stressful, letting me actually enjoy the snowy fields outside. I mean, my phone data plan is a bit... tight.

Connecting was pretty straightforwad, I thought. Just pick their wireless network from your phone's settings, then open your browser. You just gotta agree to some terms, which is normal, right?

It wasn't always super speedy, especially somewhere through the mountains, but it got the job done. For someone like me who needs to juggle work and travel without missing a beat, it's a game-changer. I've been on other trains, overseas even, where you pay a fortune for spotty service. VIA Rail just includes it, no fuss. Feels like they actually get it.
