Best phone carrier for glasto area?

[Barchos]

Hi!

I'm arriving from overseas next week and will be purchasing a pre paid phone sim card. Was wanting to know which is the best sim card/ phone carrier for the Glastonbury area in terms of getting the best reception? 

Thanks! 🙂

yeah, they put in extra capacity every year, and i've always found it to be good during the festival.

Definitely EE, they have private masts in 5g at site

Most years even on EE I sometimes find you can only do heavy/serious browsing in the wee hours, before breakfast

"EE said it is installing seven temporary masts – alongside the two permanent sites in the area – to boost coverage at Worthy Farm during the festival, which takes place in late June.

As a result of the continued rise of social media, messaging services and video live-streaming, as well as faster 5G connectivity, the mobile operator said it expects data usage during the event to exceed 200 terabytes – equivalent to viewing eight billion Instagram posts – and double the 100 terabytes used during the last Glastonbury Festival in 2019."

Plusnet Mobile runs on EE network and they will be cheaper than EE with a 30 day contract
