Yes, that is one known problem with the wifi on the bus, though I was able to
get some useful browsing in on MegaBus from Boston to NY the one time I tried.
I have no idea how reliable Amtrak's wifi is where they do offer it, but
overall I'm guessing it's more reliable since the whole operation is less
minimal. When comparing Ian's views with mine and mine with Micah's, you can
see a range of price vs comfort tradeoffs, and hopefully you can translate to
your own preferences. (In my case there's the additional factor of getting a
bit motionsick on long-distance buses but not on long-distance buses,
especially when reading or staring at a computer screen for extended periods.)
