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?

What a pity that you've resorted to sarcasm to support a rather questionable argument, but hardly surprising given your recent record of responding to my posts.

So let me ask you a direct question - have you personally ever known "free" wifi in pubs, restaurants or campsites (you seem to have missed that I included campsites in my original post by the way) to match in any way that which you experience at home?

(Note, that I made no reference to sites "over there" cheap or otherwise in my post - a rather "cheap" snipe I thought. frown)

I want  just to reiterate that yes I have known  free fast, high capacity WiFi and that it does exist on at least one campsite . To make it happen it only needs the willingness of the proprietor to make sufficient investment. Whether is desirable of necessary now that most of us have our own independent means of achieving connectivity is another issue. As I have no more interest in this and don't want to distract any further from the OP I wont be commenting further.

And my original point, which, in fairness, you answered positively as opposed to Easy T, was that "free" WiFi was fine for browsing and checking emails but that (many) folk would expect it to match their experience at home - maybe I should have said "in the vast majority of cases". But I stand by my original comment that it is unrealistic to expect "free" wifi to match "paid for" wifi.

Like you, I will also leave it at that.

 What a pity that you think that my post is about you. It is not all about you you know M and I made no reference to your post. I think that, in the main, I choose to only address you when 'spoken to or questioned by you. 

Maybe you quoted me by mistake?

O2 and EE are useless where we live to get any signal on either its a trip upstairs ,the portable card readers that "contractors?" use do not work heresurprised

Indeed there are still dead spots, although they do seem to be getting fewer and fewer. We have one on O2 and one EE.

As others have commented most applications don't seem to use a lot of data. Even sending photos over WhatsApp. As long as you stay clear of actually down loading maps, or streaming TV, which when I used it to watch a Grand Prix was gobbling 1 GB an hour.

No mistake, at all. And maybe you could point out exactly why you posted the way you did and how you thought your post made a positive contribution to the thread? frown

There was no mistake as I see it but really does it matter who you were replying to ET? Instead of using a reasoned counter argument you instead used sarcasm against a poster. Why?
