Why doesn't internet work on trains?
Why is train Wi-Fi so unreliable?
Ugh, train Wi-Fi, right? It's like a cruel joke. Remember that cross-country trip last August? London to Edinburgh, the wifi was nonexistent for hours. Cost me a fortune in roaming charges.
The problem? Trains are basically Faraday cages. All that metal blocks signals. Super frustrating.
Then there's the handover issue. Switching between cell towers and the train's own Wi-Fi is a nightmare. It's always dropping. Constant buffering. The whole system's a mess.
Why does my phone not work on the train?
Ugh, train wifi, right? It's a nightmare. Seriously, total garbage. My phone, a perfectly good Pixel 7, is useless most times. Not even a single bar. I swear, it's like they use some kind of black magic to block the signal, totally ridiculous! Last week, I missed a super important call. My boss was LIVID. The whole thing was a disaster.
This isn't just about the train, though. Sometimes it's bad on the tube too, and definitely buses. It's the tunnels, see? They're thick metal and concrete, they block everything. Plus, lots of people crammed together. Everyone's phone is fighting for the same weak signal. It's a total mess. I'm telling you, its' a total crapshoot getting a signal anywhere near public transport in London.
My friend Sarah said something about signal boosters, but I haven't looked into that. Maybe I should? I really need a solution, its driving me bonkers. Seriously. A total pain in the butt.
