Tweeted them last week asking about this. They said they were “probably” doing it.

The tent will definitely be there. Just whether they are doing swapping the power bars again.

Fuck EE. Bring sufficient power bricks.

The aesthetic inside that tent is always so jarring, I actively avoid looking in lol

This is my understanding too. I think they'll probably be selling power bars rather than exchanging them

The branding of the tent sticks out like a sore thumb.

With portable chargers now I don't see a reason to spend time there, unless completely necessary.

What should I be looking at power bank wise which won’t need me to remortgage?

I have no idea where to start or size I should be looking at…

20,000 at least. Depends what phone you have. Price range you can go anywhere from £20/25 upwards. Look at what battery your phone has work from there

The price we pay for decent coverage on the farm innit.

We have 3 of these and had them since 2018 and they are still going strong, this looks like it's slightly updated to take a usb-c charge

Flakey for me. I like to post a blog every morning. I walk up to The Woods for the best O2 signal I have found on site.

5G this year. Not sure if that will make any difference ? 

[Hugh Jass II]

I remember three years ago all the arguments and batshit conspiracy theories posted on here over the 5g towers.

Seems positively quaint now compared to the horrors that have come since.
