The tagline says "many of our buses" - not "this bus".

If I was a new customer, I would be inclined to visit gonortheast.co.uk to find out more about a service which I could use, if free Wi-Fi was something that could get me to use buses. My local service would be the Prince Bishops 20. I would discover on the website that this service does have Wi-Fi, and I may wish to change from my current preferred method of travelling to using the Prince Bishops 20 service instead.

I think it would be a reasonable assumption. 

Chances are, if you see that vehicle, it would be on your local service. If I saw that bus drive past me telling me that "many buses" have free WiFi, I think it would be reasonable to think that that vehicle was one of the buses with WiFi fitted.

Just look at the timetable Kuyoyo shared earlier for the X93. More effort has gone into designing that timetable than a standard service.

Applying the same logic as you have in your previous posts, this must be Arriva showboating a premium service in favour of other 'bog standard' services such as the 9, 28, etc?

Again, I'd argue that that is quite a bit different. Passengers of every other service aren't faced with Sapphire/MAX taglines on their bus every day.
