I have recently acquired a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. It's great.
I am away in Yarmouth for the first weekend of Formula One! The site has Wifi but it's limited.
I can watch F1 via Sky streaming on the Pro but I have a few queries....(Deep breath)
* I don't think this Pro has a sim slot so I presume I will be able to use a dongle with a 4G sim?
OR....I could do something I have never tried in my life......
* Tethering from my mobile phone....
I need advice on what would be the best to do?.
(Please be aware that any advice I'm given (about tethering) needs to be very very specific and guaranteed to work. Probably something I could try before I leave for the weekend? (24th March)
Thanks all...

Same situation. Set up and power on the dongle, give it 5 minutes then connect to its wifi broadcast.

Thanks...I had forgotten about that.
I know this may be a daft question to those in the know... but would using a separate dongle always be better than tethering from your mobile?

You don't have enough data on your phone to tether the entire race so I'd only do it on wifi or from a dongle with loadsa data.

3gb? I could never do that then as only got a 2gb plan...!!
So next question. I would need to get a data sim with 4G capability (they do get it in this area lol) and probably from Three? (sorry O2)

You could buy a bolt on if you do get an o2 signal or three will give you 12gb for 15 quid.Even abroad? That is a great price if so.
In any of their "feel at home" countries.

The dongles have the software installation files built in so you just need to install it into surface
