    1st world entitlement: I demand flawless internet when I am going faster than any animal on the planet, through valleys and tunnels cut through the surface of the earth.

      Yes people expect flawless internet, when that is what provideers advertise. How many ads were there in the last 25 years of showing people on trains working through mobile internet? If you can’t hold up what you advertise, you’re just scamming people. It’s not entitlement to expect what you’ve been promised.

      It’s not entitled to expect to get what I pay for

      And I’m not even expecting flawless. I’m just expecting it to work enough to be able to do my job

      The second half is such a non sequitur that you might as well be trolling

        Trains often go in places it’s unreasonable to expect a signal to reach very well. Like underground or surrounded by high cliffs.

            Sorry for not having taken every rail in the country? Pretty sure every train I have taken goes through a few tunnels and many areas that geographically are going to be poor signals.

              You don’t need to, just the one mentioned in my first comment

              I’d say 70% of the journey between London and Manchester the signal you get is bad enough that it’s unusable.

              You then proceeded to tell me I was entitled, despite apparently not knowing what you were talking about
