Internet Access on a Train

pete1400 · 18 February 2007 at 11:30AM

Hi there

I'm hoping to buy a laptop that I can use everyday on my (long) train journey and want to be able to access the internet - the train company is not GNER which I think enables anyone with a laptop to be able connect to the interent. Can anyone help with what I need to buy?

Many thanks in advance for anyhelp that can be offered!

You'd need a 3G datacard, which slots into the side of your laptop if there is no wireless available on the train. It uses the mobile phone network. This is likely to be very expensive though.
