Rode the Starlight this weekend. They were "testing" a new Wi-Fi system on the train, and were asking passengers if they had laptops to try it out. I only overheard one passenger report, and she said it was "spotty".
Also, the movie theatre in the Parlour Car no longer uses a DVD player. There is now a new system that downloads "content" from a Satellite and plays it continuously on the theatre screen. Movies automatically started at 2pm and 8pm, and in between there was documentaries, entertainment spots, etc. There was a "content loading" status bar at the bottom of the screen as it was downloading the 8pm movie.
I'm assuming this satellite connection is the same connection that they were using for the Wi-Fi service.
