Un petit billet pour les geeks. Ça fait maintenant plusieurs mois que Via Rail a des ennuis avec la connexion au web à bord de ses trains. Ce service est d'ailleurs gratuit tant que les problèmes ne sont pas réglés. Heureusement. Comme je profite d'un miraculeux et mystérieux moment de connexion potable, je vous présente un long test ping vers perdu.com que je me suis amusé à faire pour passer l'impatience et le début de rage. En voici le résultat.
