I don’t know where WestJet wifi fits in the grand scheme of airline wifi, but it’s not good.
It’s often crazy slow - like 90s AOL dial-up slow - and often even the most basic web pages won’t load. It cuts out frequently, even when not crossing a border or an ocean. And it’s expensive. I’d regularly use it (or try to) with the MasterCard benefit. Now that it’s been dialled back so much, I don’t see paying the high price for full flight access … not with how their Internet typically performs.
Delta, by comparison, has typically great quality wifi — and it’s now free. And I believe even bottom-of-the-barrel AC Rouge now has super fast wifi that even supports streaming video.
