(as of 2017) As far as I can see, there's no cable going to Easter Island, so it is satellite broadband (4G)

It should be robust, but not speedy.

The bottleneck isn't the WiFi, but the connection between the island and the rest of the world. I develop an Internet-enabled product and we have a client on Easter Island. I'm given to understand that the entire island shares the equivalent of a 3G connection. I don't recall exact figures from our network logs for latency and throughput, but they're pretty bad. So I would expect voice call to be feasible, but video call to have terrible quality.
