They don't place any temporary masts for any of the airshows.

Pretty sure most of them will be (if not all), O2 was definitely there last year. No 3 though from what I remember.

Air Tattoo website says they have increased the number of masts available so I doubt anyone will have much trouble.

Free wifi is also available at the service stations located throughout the airfield. Also phone chargers are available for a "small fee"

Have they deployed any 2600 there just for the Air Tattoo or is it still on 1800?

1800Mhz only. O2 have deployed their 800Mhz 4G, not sure what speeds that gives.

Regular H+ keeps timing out Web pages

If that was on EE, would you mind posting some more candid feedback I can use internally, not much point deploying temp sites if the user experience does not benefit.

Let's hope EE 4G doesn't fail as miserably as last years Air Tattoo
