I recently took the IC from Dresden Hbf to Berlin Südkreuz and it was a very pleasant journey. The train arrived on time and as I had not booked a seat reservation, it was a bit difficult to find a seat at first. After I was able to get a seat, the rest of the journey was without complications. Thanks to the power sockets under the seats, I was able to charge my notebook, which I worked on while I was travelling. As expected, the wifi was unfortunately very busy and correspondingly poor. We arrived at Südkreuz 10 minutes before we were supposed to and I can only recommend this connection compared to the alternative with the regional trains.
