Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has climbed up Ben Nevis? I am planning on climbing the Ben at the end of May. Any help, tips would be great. Also is there phone internet service on the way up?

Take your time. It's straightforward but it's a marathon, not a sprint. I'd also set off early - it can get busy busy. Stay away from the edges at the top too.

We went up the Carn Mor Dearg arête (the other side of the mountain to the pony path) several years ago. We took a guide with us, which I would recommend for that route as it is technically demanding. It is utterly beautiful but parts of the route are very exposed with terrifying drops on either side.
it was satisfying but I could not move the next day. My glutes have never had such a great workout!!
