Your odds are decent and improving by the week...CX has been churning out a lot of 77H->77A conversions lately (that's a 9 across to 10 across economy conversion, for the four class 777 variant). When those conversions are happening, they're often coming out with WiFi domes too.

At this stage 13/32 planes eligible to fly that route (4 class 777s) have WiFi , and those odds will be even better by the time you fly. Certainly nothing to bank on, but it's basically just probability. You can probably assume at least 1-2 more birds will be converted by then, and maybe one in the shop. I don't think it's unrealistic to assume almost 50/50 odds for wifi on that route in a month or so.
50/50 is a good old, will report back once I take the flight.
