Wifi Price rise

Not tried the wifi on any mainline C&CC site to know if it is any good. Generally happy with it on CC  sites

I rarely use either prefering to use my smart phone's data.

I’ll accept that ‘free’ services have to paid for, such as free parking, or free postage.

So, why is wifi different to electric power, water, waste disposal, showers, all services provided ‘free’ on CAMC sites?

A number of possible reasons. Most outfits on site have at least one member who will make use of toilet facilities. Nearly all will use electric, waste and water services. Many will choose not to use site wifi but might if included in fee. I find the wifi generally good but would it be if all the site were using it? 

Also no idea what CC's contract structure with air angel might be .... is it still air angel? 

The cost of building the infrastructure to provide WiFi on a Club site is a great deal more than the rather simpler systems used in pubs and coffee shops. You are also going to be in such premises for a relatively short period of time so bandwidth might not be such an issue as on a Club site with potentially a 100 users being online at the same time. I am not sure you should equate an understanding of the whys and wherefores of the Club system as being propaganda.

As to sites abroads, yes I have had been on a few sites with free WiFi but I have also had many with eye wateringly high charges for internet use and often with systems that are less useful than what the Club provides.

Like many on here we have a good data allowance from BT on our mobiles and a mifi with 25GB data from Vodafone however it is only any good if you get a decent signal and on many sites you do not.

I always thought the £25 a year fee was reasonable if you used club sites often, however what let it down was the abysmal speeds at most sites.  In York Rowntree site which is located right in the city centre the speed was non existent, so the club should really be looking at alternatives to a fixed line.  But in Castleton in th middle of nowhere the speed was great and could not complain as there is hardly a phone signal.

So I think horses for courses/mix and match if there is a good 3/4G signal use teh phone or mifi if no signal use WiFi if the speed is good.

I was just expressing a personal opinion regarding wifi.

I agree there are other thing on site (that i don't use) but would not want to see them go.

I don’t mind paying if the service is there.  I bought an annual pass in mid May last year at the start of a 6 week trip away thinking it would be more reliable than my phone. Logged into site WiFi last Tuesday to find I’d got 122 hours left - great that will do for most of this 7 week trip.  On Saturday I noticed a flag saying I’d got 104 hours left - wondered if that was right as only used iPad twice a day for maximum of half hour each time.  Have made a note of usage since then. Logged in just now to see time left was down to 94 hours 34 minutes despite total usage since Saturday only 3 hours 45 minutes!  How does that work?  Anyone else encountered a similar problem?  Who and how do I get that time back? 

Contact Air Angel and see what they say.

It's the mobile network for me every time.

I’ll try them - they were worse than useless when I had a log on problem last year though!
