I would take that message with a boulder of salt.

Yes, they're working on upgrading their equipment (although I suspect it will take longer than 2020 to complete the work).

Free wi-fi fleetwide would (a) not be in keeping with the Scott Kirby playbook, and (b) make the wifi unusable again anyway.

ETA: Thanks, WineCountryUA. The cynic in me assumes that the launch of free WiFi will coincide with a $25 fare increase but I will retract my statement anyway.
