So much for being productive...
Recently had an older B773 for CX888 HKG-YVR-JFK. At the gate I noticed it had the old livery so then I looked for the "hump" on the top that houses the external wifi equipment and realized there was none! So at least I had a little warning while still at the gate about the lack of wifi.
