The WiFi in HBC was completely unusable this year, the past 3 years it was at least sometimes marginally usable in the evenings, but totally zilch this year. Even the Verizon 4G LTE data service on my phone was slow and congested.
I'm with AT&T and had decent service. I was in row 304, about 50 yards from the towers.

We were at Camp Schollar all week, near the West Camp Store. We had excellent wifi throughout the week. Wifi near the exhibition hangers was poor, but there certainly were areas it was better.
Tried to connect a few times in HBC and down by Homebuilt registration and gave up. Turned on my phone's hotspot (Verizon 4G LTE) when I needed to use my tablet and didn't have any issues with that. However, generally I just stuck to my phone using LTE and didn't bother with my tablet at all.

Similar experience here. I was camped at Warbirds Camping and wifi was rather spotty and pretty slow. Verizon data connection was perfect though, and I had no issues working while connected to my cell phone.

I had unexpectedly good ATT service all over the show. I expected none and got 2-3 bars of LTE. Best was near my plane in row 313. Able to send photos easily and never had issue facetiming with wife showing her the sites (she was stuck at home with sick dog and let me come by myself).
