As a little background to the question, I’m moving from where I live because cost of living is way too high. I have found a few apartments that are within my budget but they all have “complementary WiFi”. Is there anything I should be aware of?

    So, that test I posted also shows the condition of the connection. Not sure if your tests also had that.

    Your concern is warranted, the nature of the connection can be difficult to determine. You could use a home router setup to connect to a trusted endpoint such as a VPN service. That would help you avoid immediate concerns, should that not be possible due to aggressive filtering methods. I wouldn’t sign that agreement, but if forced to do so due to circumstance you could work with your company’s IT department for a suitable solution, and for personal look into network privacy tools. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlay_network
