Looks as though Southern are starting to roll out free Wi-Fi onto their fleet today. Had 377 601 today on a London Victoria to Caterham and noticed there were Wi-Fi stickers on the doors.
I tried the Wi-Fi,supplied by iComera and it was pretty good apart from one thing that really bugs me. It is not unlimited. There is a 50MB usage limit, therefore it blocks apps that use a high amount of data, such as Snapchat and streaming sites such as Netflix. As a Snapchatter myself, this is disappointing, and reminds me of Emirates's 10MB usage limit. however it shows Southern are taking a step in the right direction by installing Wi-Fi as part of the government's programme to equip the whole fleet of trains with Wi-Fi.
Looking forward to seeing more Southern units being equipped with Wi-Fi and hopefully they will roll it out on its Class 455's. Unless others have been done I believe 377 601 is the first Southern unit to be fitted with Free Wi-Fi
