They would travel slower at high pressure and high temperature due to more interactions. Low temp and low pressure are the opposite. Sound is also the opposite on pressure and more complicated on temperature.

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic but this is not true. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in a vacuum, so the presence of air would slow it down very slightly and I would expect higher air pressure would slow it down further again only incredibly slightly because the electromagnetic waves would be traveling through a medium less efficient and more different than a vacuum.
Of course I’m making an assumption that you were using wireless signals. For all I know, you could have some weird acoustic link in which case you’d be absolutely right.

Internet via carrier pigeon. A strong headwind will reduce your effective transmission time.

I believe this mode of communication was actually standardized.
