net access

[falkirk bairn]

Does anybody know whether there is any wireless internet access at glastonbury?

[laid back in the sun]

you will find this forum quite deserted for most of that week be surprised if theres not an internet cafe somewhere on site tho

[harper11]

wireless ha!

[popcornmaster]

NO, why would you want to be online whilst there shocking

push comes to shove you get online in that Ghastly orange place

(the only place on site where people are not happy)

Christ i don't even think V have WiFi....

How can i get into the arena with my stellas ?

[Laura_Babs]

Not that I have seen. Although maybe you could find a nice person with a Blackberrry/I Phone in the chill and charge tent?!

Although unless you need it for something that you really can't wait for under any circumstances, don't do it!!! One of the best things for me about Glastonbury is being away from everything, including the internet which I absolutely love for the other 348 days/year!

The Orange Charge and Chill area had computers with internet access, not sure about wireless connection though.

As someone who got up on Christmas morning and checked my work and personal emails before I opened my presents, beleive me, NOT having net access is one of the best things about Glastonbury...

I can think of several reasons. Finding out who the "special guests" are for a start.

[bombfrog]

Or you could turn up at the times of the Special guests and find out?

Internet??? WTF - I don't even take my phone, the idea is to get lost and enjoy yourself

[lofichic]

I'll have the net on my phone but I really don't want to check it if I can help it. This is someone who hunted out an internet cafe on the first day of my holiday in Munich a few years ago to check my work emails. I did have about 3 *urgent* mails from my boss, which were not urgent at all, and she did proceed to email me AND PHONE ME every day about work stuff.

I left that job.

But yes, there's net in the Orange tent. If you need it for exam results etc ask someone with a google/winmob/blackberry phone around you, I'll sure they'll lend it you - I would

[TalkShow Bob]

Q daily will tell you that stuff. And the program will have most of them filled in anyway.

Yes you do...how else did me get together in 07???

[strudders]

I have the wife and kid so I should keep my phone with me.........

However I am not at all responsible or sensible and therefore I can see one of two things happening.

1) I loose the phone down the long drops

2) I forget about calling as promised, have the phone on silent as it annoys people when it rings and then realise at the end of the festival I was supposed to call after seeing 1 gazillion missed calls and messages.... Bearded Theory all over again...

[FunkyDenz]
