When will all the train networks get Wifi as standard? Would definitely be a positive factor when making my choice when travelling long distance.

I pay £4,500 a year for my train ticket to London, yet for Wifi access they want an extra £2 a journey or £200 a year !!!!

Would be good though I guess it depends whose giving them. Knowing the train companies we'd get line-ups of Susan Boyle clones giving them! Maybe if free blindfolds were included...nah, still not sure if I could.
And surely it isn't that unrealistic given the cost of train tickets? That mobile reception is inconsistent, without any way to strengthen reception, takes the tinkle these days.

For a 50 mile journey that takes 50 minutes, ridiuclously expensive

I think they need to update the whole WIFI thing, well especially on the East Coast Trains.
I've been left with no choice at times to purchase internet access and off the top of my head it's around £15 for 24 hour access or £6 for a single hour. You would expect at that price it would be a top notch service... far from it!
Took me around 5 minutes to open a single webpage and this service doesn't differ from train to train as I've travelled on different models along the East Coast line, including their newer Mark IV trains.
Now days I have set up portable WIFI on my orange phone and not only is it far faster it it less expensive too (as long as you don't start streaming).

This is the future. Screw WiFi hotspots in coffee shops. Screw 3G iPads. If you have an Android or iPhone (and maybe other phones support this) then just use the portable WiFi hotspot from your phone, but just ensure your data allowance is big enough. A word of warning though, it does kill the battery, so the best way to use your phone's 3G on your computer is to use USB tethering and keep your phone connected to your laptop.

Was just going to say... massive battery killer! Made my phone extremley hot.
I tend to keep a USB cable with me and plug it in when needed.

Yep true. iPhone does FaceTime over wifi now too. I should have said calls will be done over 3G/4G in the near future...everything will be online.
Ever heard of Skype?????

Skype is not like a phone call at all. It requires both users to be available and logged into the service.
Not necessarily. You can call phones using Skype. Ever heard of Skype credit?????

Skype can be running in the background or you can purchase skype phones that ring like any ordinary phone when rung.
