To confirm - this is when travelling long distance in a seat, with a seat reservation. The policy applies additionally on TGVs and ICEs.
A seat reservation in a full 390 gets you a seat where you can hardly open the lid of your laptop without bashing the keyboard into your stomach. And the VPN on that wifi? You can forget it.

If trains act as a faraday cage why I do always get a perfect signal on trains in France including the more rural areas. I could be on a TGV at 186mph and have perfect 4G coverage. Also I am pretty sure the 4G connectivity is quiet good on the Pendolinos. Has the WCML got good coverage overall? Edit perhaps I an not doing 186mph up the Pyrenees though!

The French high speed routes were required the national regulator (ARCEP) to provide coverage, so there is really dense coverage every few km of all the mobile operators.
