CAMC have put up the cost of wifi on its sites by 10% on the annual charge to £27.50. Have I missed something as there doesn’t appear to be anything in the way of explanation on the website or magazine?. Are they hoping that no-one will notice?

Time this club started to catch up, wifi should be free end of, they are making enough money, membership increase, site prices becoming extortionate, soon it will only be affordable to the elite.

DOOBY, you really need to be a bit more subtle when liking your own posts - leave it an hour or two so it's not so obvious!  laughing

I noticed, too.😃

I'm not sure about making money this year, Dooby. You might have noticed that sites were closed for at least 3 months and extra costs have been incurred due to C19.

Have you not thought that someone has to pay for the Wi-fi and if it became 'free' the cost would inevitably lead to an increase in fees elsewhere?

There can be no such thing as free wifi on a caravan site. The users of the site effectively all pay for it out of pitch fees as this is the income source for any site.

Many say that they won't pay for it and prefer to tether to a phone or use a mifi. OH and I pay for a single user. It suits her at the van she is more likely to read a book. I use it happily on CMC sites however and now I never read a book. As we don't watch TV I am often on the CMC wifi. If OH wants to go online at the same time we use a mifi for one of us and it used if needed out and about, or on various sites. For us it makes economic sense as well as a second string. I don't wish for those who choose not to use it to pay for my usage. I suspect that on many sites if it was 'free' (in reality included in the fees) there would me more users and the system would not cope.

I choose to eat at places that advertise free WIFI D69, I’m with you on that👍🏻. It’s a good draw although I doubt C&MC need a draw to get folk to use their sites as many use them regardless of price.

I choose not to use wifi when I am eating laughing I only use internet when at the caravan or maybe for directions in towns or cities. We all have different wants.

Maybe many use them despite the price as they like what the sites provide to them.

There is no "free wifi" the price you pay at the till  for goods/services is inclusive

The wifi where available on most club sites is contracted out to Airangel who are responsible for any "problems " with the system on sites you will notice it is them them you pay the fees to,  and can only be done when on sites to them not the club

I agree completely👍🏻(C&MC) the eating thing we differ I like to keep in contact even when refuelling it helps my digestion, I guess it’s what you are used too, I don’t lift my pinky when drinking either. . .Always the rebel eh?🤣🤣
