In Russia, only few modern high-speed trains (sapsan, lastochka, strizh) have a (paid) wi-fi onboard.

However you can use cellular in other places. Check 3G/LTE availability maps:

I believe most trains use cellular data connections for internet connections. I don't expect there to be any out in the Mongolian desert. You'd probably have to bring your own satellite internet...

There was also a good previous post on a developer who lived on cruise ships for about $1000 a month.

But at the time (3 years ago) WiFi was a problem which meant it is not a good option to many of us who have the freedom to travel but not without internet access.

The wifi appears to be pretty expensive but maybe it can be worked into a budget. I understand that the limitation at the time appealed to the author, but a lot of teams are very collaborative and a remote worker would need unlimited access.

>Is there internet available on any of the trains? Anyone worked remote from a train like this before?

no these trains don't.

But some amtrak's in america do have wifi.

Correction: Some claim to have Wifi. It rarely works.

Sounds like a job for satellite...
