I've noticed this too, and I put it down to the access points in the 1st class coaches having a higher priority for traffic through the gateway. I'd imagine it's one gateway per train, rather than one per access point??
It's a bit worrying that there's nothing in the conditions of carriage with regards to WiFi, especially when they're now marketing services with that as a key feature. If someone purchased an angel saver with the aim to turn 2 hours worth of commuting each day into productive time, i.e. working over VPN, then there'd be potential for a loss of earnings claim.
On a more positive note, it's worth adding praise that GNE have now added a formal policy to support breast feeding. I wish more companies would do the same.
I agree with the more productive side of things. One time on the 884 we had 6070 (I think) and a kid needed to get a fact off the internet for his homework - and when he asked the driver he said it 'only worked when it was doing the 21'.
