Shane - the bandwidth was fine, certainly better than the hotel's. My ssh/emacs session was slightly less than perfectly smooth but I was pleased. Browsing Google maps about 15% of the tiles failed to load; but I think that wasn't the WIFI. I found it a perfect substitute for the train, much to my surprise. Jon – opps; fixed.

Glad you had an enjoyable trip - the free wifi, and potential to not be on a crowded bus means the nicer bus lines may be real competitors to the train someday. The cost savings is significant, and if the niceness of the experience - being able to work - starts to approach the space you can get on the train, it will become interesting.
