Last time I logged on on a Virgin train it thought I was in Germany... whenever I searched it went to google.de. Annoyingly I couldn't get to the domestic BBC News site, although there were no adverts
Yep, same with me. Although they specifically ask you not to use iPlayer and other streaming sites on East Coast so it's mostly irrelevant. I doubt the bandwidth would be up to it anyway
The Virgin Trains/T-Mobile Hotspots seem to think you're in Gibraltar!

I got the danish google but the UK BBC site on an East Coast train.

Well they could have a password but they'd have to let all their customers know what it is which makes it as good as not having one at all.
Virgin's wifi is a lot better, I suppose you get what you pay for
Indeed the wifi was quite flakey, I wanted to upload a simple webcam photo to facebook (look at me, I'm on a train) but it kept exploding at the sheer concept.
Also not impressed it was completely unsecured but then I suppose having a password would just make things tricky.

I've had this email from SeeSaw today, which seems to indicate that the beta may be starting this week.
