I'd monitor the wifi strength over time. If it stays pretty consistently
strong then there's no difference between using your friend's wifi or
any other wifi. For me personally, I'd worry more about dropped
connections and having to restart the update process than I would about
a corrupted update. I'm sure Apple has enough checks that it won't start
an update until it knows it has a good image downloaded to your phone.
Finally, unless Facetime isn't working for you, you can just wait until
you have access to your PC or a more reliable wifi network.

significantly greater chance of corrupted data packets, means greater
chance that the update could be corrupted. I wouldn't trust my iPhone to
that increased possibility.

My PC is unavailable- but can access a neighbors’ WIFI from my house
(with his consent). Do I need to go over to his house to attempt an
IOS update via WIFI or is it OK as long as I have a signal?
How long does WIFI IOS update take?
Many, many thanks to all you on this list who make it possible :)
