I rode down to DC on the 10 am Acela Monday and AcelaConnect was nothing to celebrate. I was able to log on to a couple websites at extremely slow speeds--slower than mid-90s dial-up--before my browser ceased connecting altogether. My wife and her colleagues had the same experience on the 9 am train that morning, as well as on the return on Tuesday.
I was able to send and receive email, so I knew I was connected to the internet. Eventually, it occurred to me to log on to my company's VPN, and when I did that I was able to surf the web.
Amtrak has some bugs to work out before it expands its internet service. But then again, one would've thought they've worked those bugs out before they publicly introduced AcelaConnect.
