Some guidance here :-
Mobile phones and Wi-Fi underground - Transport for London (tfl.gov.uk)

Wifi on the Underground | Free Wifi Hotspot Locator | O2

Does that answer your question ?

Why do you say the WiFi is shutting down on LU, @MI5 ? All the publicity suggests that the station wifi and the station/tunnel 4G/5G will run in tandem. Surely that makes sense? At least until LU reach the promised 220 out of 272 with mobile coverage (currently only around 30 with 4G/5G compared to more than 260 with WiFi).
The wifi network was originally installed by Virgin Media. BAI signed a 20-year concession in 2021, which seems to cover both mobile and Wi-Fi services. Certainly BAI has since taken over the wifi network from VM. TfL's "Connected London" supposedly comprises public Wifi "supported" by the ever-expanding 4G/5G connectivity.
Three, EE, Vodafone and O2 all have their own SSID on the underground. VM pulled out last year, but their 'old' Virgin Mobile customers can connect through O2's WiFi Extra.
Certainly there are glitches with the wifi connectivity, but I do not get the impression that stations are being turned off or that the system is in managed decline.
