How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn't exactly a major metropolis, but we're in the middle of town! It's not like they're relying on Hughesnet or something.

Also, it's not that they're cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

I don't get it either. I am doing a little better tethering my notebook to my phone using the local data, although I don't think it's 5G. Unfortunately, I have an iPhone and a Linux notebook and I can't seem to figure out a way to get the notebook to connect to the iPhone via WiFi. I can only use it tethered via USB. Which means that if I want to go into another room and not lose internet, I need to carry them both around. Annoying, but at least the internet is faster. I should have thought of it earlier.

This is bizarre, I looked and Rochester Minnesota has multiple high speed providers, including two that offer fiber.

And the isp you have is a wireless isp that doesn't even list Rochester as within its coverage area, they're intended to serve more rural areas west of the city. On their map it gets close to but not quite in Rochester, but maybe they're still able to access it (slowly) since it's a wireless provider.

I'm guessing this is a whoever owns your Airbnb problem rather than a Rochester Minnesota problem. I don't understand why they would be paying for this rather than use any of the readily available high speed options there.

Sounds like maybe that's true about it being them.
