I do the train thing quite a bit in different countries, it does depend
a lot on where you are.  A lot of the time the issue isn't speed, it's
reliability - the most common failure mode I see is that the connection
speed is fine when it's there but it routinely drops out for periods in
more remote areas or due to cell handover issues if you're moving at
speed and if you're working interactively even brief drops are very
apparent.  If you can queue up network interaction so it can happen
without you having to sit and wait for it to complete (or manually retry
it if it times out) this doesn't really cause any difficulties but if
it's stopping you from proceeding it becomes an issue.
