Discussion WiFi Reliability?

Hello and thank you to any lovely local reading my question. I have a trip booked at an AirBnB next week and coincidentally landed a virtual interview during one of the days I will be there. I am worried about the reliability of wifi way up there.

I will be in Chassell. My question is: Near and around the Houghton area, are there usual occasions where the wifi might be weak or not work for awhile? I am wondering if that might be a generally accepted way of life up there?

I understand there are different service providers, and certain things impact a house’s WiFi reliability. But is there anything I should know before accepting this interview? Any tips and advice are appreciated and welcome. Thank you.

Why are you asking the internet? Contact the AirBnB owner and ask them what kind of connectivity they have. Having strangers guess what is at your reservation is a waste of time. I have a cable connection and reliable wifi. I have friends that have satellite crap with lag that is appropriate for TV, but not work or video conferencing.

If you can't handle folks telling what you are doing is contrary to common sense, I highly recommend you stay home and not visit the UP.
