Back in June last year I wrote a post on my very positive experiences with the satellite based Internet access on board the Thayls high speed trains. Multi-megabit speeds, it was a joy to use it. Now, only a little bit more than half a year later the system is not much more than a shadow of its former self. During my past 4 trips, the system was down twice. And the other two times when it was available, speeds could be measured in bits per second and it was impossible to use it. What's going on Thalys? Have you reduced your overall bandwidth to reduce the monthly bill or has the service become so popular you are chocked by the demand? Either way, it's unusable and not worth paying for…
Oh and by the way, I thought long before writing this post but I couldn't let my very positive review stand on it's own, it just doesn't reflect reality anymore.
