We will be taking the RS Best of Scotland tour this summer and are scheduled to be in Oban on August 1st. Could anyone who has been there tell me how the WiFi is? For that matter, is there dependable internet in Oban? Granted, WiFi seems ubiquitous, but in some areas it can be unavailable, or poor at best. We assume the hotel the tour has scheduled will have it, but if not, all we really need is basic internet access anywhere in town. I recognize this question probably sounds ridiculous, but stupid questions are my forte.

The Corryvrecken pub next to where the ferrys go from definately does.
Some nice tub chairs by the big windows overlooking the harbour if you get lucky.

I haven’t been to a hotel anywhere in the past 7 years, in any country, that didn’t have WiFi. Speeds and reliability are a different matter.

We took that tour in 2022. The hotels may have changed but we had no issues with wifi in any of the hotels on the tour. In fact, I have never had any wifi connectivity issues anywhere in Europe.

We stayed in the middle of nowhere, 30 minutes north of Oban at Barcaldine Castle and had strong wifi. Strong enough that I took part in a Team's meeting for work with no issues. The region seems well wired.
