Qantas starts international wifi

Booked a flight to Jakarta (A332) and I was so sure I would have WiFi... Turns out I'm on VH-EBP today which is one of the only ones without WiFi 😭
 
You know i just had a thought even after Viasat F3 is fully launched and operational, would it cover routes like SYD-JNB which goes through Antarctica (or close to), wonder if a route like that would be too South for proper coverage.
 
Doing a SYD - DRW - SIN milk run on VH-XZI today.

Wifi was excellent between SYD and DRW; DRW to just before Dili - wifi worked well. It then dropped out until about South of Sumpit (Central Kalimantan). Since there up to into Singapore it worked well.

All in all a very nice milk run - neighbour free on both flights in emergency row.

333 - unclear appears QPA QPH I J have humps but not necessarily switched on. QPF in AUH
787 - ZNJ. ZNK in HKG.
 
On EBV from Brisbane to Melbourne tonight but wifi turned off. Plane had been in Brisbane for 4 days (assume maintenance work done) before being positioned to Melbourne.

Crew just said wifi is not available on this aircraft when I asked which is obviously not correct.
