Where do they get their internet? Cause the Acelas I'm on, I never rode one that had complimentary WIFI or was there any open, working router/access point... Heard that Optimum's WIFI for current Optimum customers had a few areas where they had connection but I didn't get anything.....
You can also hook up most phones to a laptop, and use your cell phone as a modem. Granted, the speeds could only be a couple of times faster than dial-up, though the speeds are constantly getting increased. It certainly does the job.
