Thanks for the info, inquisitor!
This however kind of doesn't really explain to me why using the internet on German trains feels worse than in Poland or Italy. Consider only 2G (GSM, which is the same frequencies in all these countries). The experience for me as a user is that in Germany using T-Mobile I see some bars in the signal strength (sometimes even full) and still internet just doesn't load. Even though I have EDGE. This is also in regional trains (Nahverkehr) which in general don't travel faster than 140km/h - 160km/h. On trains in Italy (TIM) or Poland (Plus), travelling similar speeds, also using EDGE, internet just works. I can't seem to find a good explanation for this... I would have expected this to be exactly the other way round, Germany being a more developed and more ordered country. Would German trains be better isolated than Italian or Polish ones or something?
