Unreliable InternetI travelled from Hamburg to Fulda on the ICE. The train took almost 4 1/2 hours for the journey. This was still manageable. Overall, the train was modernly equipped and the air conditioning ensured a pleasant room temperature. Unfortunately, the internet occasionally broke down, which somewhat restricted effective work. Apart from that, I can report that the train was not delayed at all.
