Eva Air BR35/36 Wifi Service
Flying Eva's YYZ-TPE-YYZ BR35/36 in April. Does this aircraft have wifi? It's listed as 77W/Q as of now.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Can you see the Wi-Fi icon next to aircraft model under "Flight Details" in reservation? If so, there will be Wi-Fi.
Last October when I flew it it had no Wi-Fi. Things might have changed now though.

I wish it had wifi but not likely to get Wifi or new plane(s) for this route anytime soon. Most YYZ's passengers aren't going to pay up for wifi as to LAX/SFO/JFK.
Keep an eye on the registration number... it will tell you which aircraft EVA has scheduled for the flight. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/br35/
I was on 16717 going from YYZ to TPE in Feb and 16705 on the way back. 16717 has pay per use SMS/email. 16705 has nada, not even pay per use or satellite phone.

Plus and cons. Wifi has been spotty for me on this flight (which I do weekly as we have datacenters in Asia).

Only SFO and SEA and soon-YVR get the 10abreast. There are still 3 restrooms for J in all planes.

Are there specific areas where the wifi is bad? (Such as near Alaska/northern Russia) or just hit and miss everywhere? Is the speed good enough for streaming radio? Like a 64kb stream?
Also worth noting, that you can save a few bucks (10% I think) if you purchase your voucher before the flight. Something like 19.80$ instead of $22us for 24 hrs.
