I can't see the point of not putting Virgin wifi in the tunnels. I can listen to the cricket at Tooting Broadway, but then I lose the signal and I have to reconnect at Tooting Bec. I have to reconnect at every station. Are they ever going to put routers in the tunnel?

No. Wifi isn't a cellular system - its not designed for handing over from
one router to the next as you move along. By the time your phone had
tried to reconnect to the next router it would already be moving out of range.

Anyway, can't you go half an hour without using your phone?

Okay; I see that now.

I was rather interested in the cricketball game.
