I'm sure there's an alternative at Heuston and perhaps there's a franchise issue where eircom have been granted exclusivity, but in the VIA example WiFi is available in most if not all stations in the main corridor, so a passenger waiting for a connection at Portarlington for Cork say wouldn't have to leave the station area. It's the seamlessness of the ontrain/offtrain service which is helpful because one promotes the other.
