Maybe I missed it but some of the longest routes don’t have internet. A number of people would take trains if they could work while on the trip.
Amtrak’s Coast Starlight line on the west coast has wifi, but it’s unusably glitchy. The trips I’ve taken haven’t been crowded, so I doubt it was an overuse issue. My guess is either the upstream connection is junk or the trains aren’t kitted out with hardware capable of meaningful QoS (either from misconfiguration or inability).
You would think they would drop a starlink and some wifi APs on every route for an easy win.
I didn’t see that in the article, though they did talk about electric outlets at every seat
