Don't forget that technology has moved on since those days. Both in terms of the bandwidth available, and the ability to throttle heavy users.
That, coupled with increasing use of passengers' own 3G & 4G connections might make it viable.
I seem to remember GNER was an early adopter of train wifi, which rather handicapped them and left them locked into outdated technology.
