Deutsche Bahn: Reliable wifi on train?
There's a fair chance that I will be travelling between Düsseldorf (DE) and Poznan (P) frequently soon, using Deutsche Bahn. Since this is a fairly long trip, I'd like to ensure that I can open my laptop and work while on the train.
Is there Wi-fi available for this? If so, is it reliable for work (VPN access, online calls, etc)?
