Then clearly you haven't read the material, because the "as of mid-2021" in the wiki is when they started rolling out the new system, not the last time anyone provided any updated information. There are numerous posts since then about the roll-out and which aircraft have it, and which don't, and the wiki has been updated whenever someone has information that impacts it.

AC doesn't publish any of this stuff anywhere, and front-line staff usually know little to nothing about this. Some of us occasionally get access to snippets of information from various sources and will share it here, but unless you know someone in the AC team that handles IFE and WiFi (or the suppliers doing the work) who can give us a detailed timetable on the roll-out, what's in this thread is the most extensive information in the world on AC's 7M8 WiFi, ridiculous as that may sound.
