Why is there no internet in the subway in NYC? I always found that annoying.

- lobster_johnson 9y agoAlmost all subway stations have cell towers now, which works great, but the reception in the tunnels between stations is non-existent.
- pmilla1606 9y agoExactly. Therefore switching comment threads while in the tunnels doesn't work with other HN clients. Maybe this is just old, ingrained behavior of mine but I like to load up a bunch of threads before the train arrives and then read while underway. Also, trying to fetch new comments at a station that happens to not get LTE usually fails and leaves me reading-material-less. Maybe I should bring a book.
