The train is probably doing 110km/h while the WLAN connection via the mobile network is showing a result of 843 kb/s download and 93 kb/s upload speed (via Nordic Satellite AB), as tested here. So I was wondering how can one factor in the speed of the train I am traveling on, into the broadband speed to get a “corrected” number. Will have to think some more. In the meantime, one sure has come a long way from reading the newspaper, listening to the good old sony walkman (not discman, but the cassette version), to being online, listening to one’s mp3 player or doing business on the mobile phone (by voice or video call!). Don’t know how much faster the train goes compared to 10 years ago (maybe 30-40 kph faster?) but am sure curious to think about what the future, ten years from now, will look like. The newspaper, by the way, is still in vogue.
