Watching porn is the favourite way to pass the time among travellers who travel by train. Porn downloads happened most commonly in Secundrabad under South Central Railway (SCR) followed by Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Tirupati.
According to RailTel, the company that operates RailWire, porn accounts for 35% of downloads in Secunderabad and Vijayawada combined, overall SCR divisions. In an attempt to extend high-speed Wi-Fi services across 588 stations, SCR’s current network is suffering from slow traffic, making it difficult to download videos, mostly pornographic ones.
Our gateway data shows a significant number of Wi-Fi searches are related to pornographic content. “Though pornographic websites are inaccessible, VPNs and certain websites that are not yet blacklisted allow users to download pornographic content,” said a senior official with RailTel.
More than 1.2 million unique users use RailWire every day. In addition to ranking first in terms of porn searches at Secunderabad Railway Station, it also ranks first for data consumption in SCR, and fourth among more than 1,600 stations within India.

According to the official, “On average, a user consumes 350 MB of data in about 30 minutes. Porn sites account for 90% of that consumption among most unique users,” the official said.
It is not their business to interfere with anyone’s privacy, officials said, adding that porn downloads are a common occurrence across various stations.
