Wifi Price rise

I was going to buy the wi-fi, but when I saw the price, I decided to use my mobile data. Sorry, but the wi-fi is a rip off, even at half that price. It should be free.

I am currently on beechwood at York  the cost of a weeks wifi on air angel is £10. The service is absolutely rubbish. It keeps buffering and cutting out. I went into York and got free wifi in Greggs and other places for nothing. Airangel who supply the service are the worst I have come across. Why are we paying for it. Most companies including shops busses trains etc provide for free.  I live on a park home site in South Yorkshire and we use quickline which is similar to airangle. However it costs less and and you can get 39megs for what the caravan club charge. I have been on other sites all over the country using airangle and they are all useless. I ask you why are we paying at all and especially as it is rubbish. Ps been been a caravan club member for over 35 years but I think we are being ripped off on this issue. Any comments. 

Yep, I’ll comment.

We are not all being ripped off. I’m not because I don’t pay for the rubbish. Don’t assume we're all in the same boat. 

I will also comment. 

I pay the £25 a year. Just spent a week on a site that was full for half term. WiFi was good for 95% of the time. Just a few blips, I think the warden had to kick the router😂.

It does vary from site to site, depending on broadband provision into the area, just like at home. We are lucky with a 70MB connection, others are fortunate if they get single figures.

I think that the CC wifi generally works fine for us. But for those buying per day or per week it is expensive. Typically I find that charges for wifi on non club sites is £10 a week but that is usually for two devices. With CC it is about that price for one device. 

I don't recall ever using site Wi-Fi and probably never will. Our smart phones with 4G work either on or nearby to 95% of places we go to.

You were also unable to try before you bought in.

We tried before we bought at ML Betws-Y-Coed 

We were on there in 2017 for 5 nights. Usually I buy two 3 day passes as that works out the same as a 7 day pass for us at £10. On this occasion We were out with friends on the first evening and didn't purchase wifi. The next day I asked in the office if their wifi was any good. They gave me a 1 day pass free to try it out. 

Morris Leisure now charge £15 for 7 days, £5 for 48 hours, small charge(?) for log in. I think those with their own connection systems might be better off!

I doubt that my sim would have used more than £3.50 for our typical 5 night stay. I can't remember now why I chose to pay £10 (well, as it turned out £5). Normally would use our own if not on a CC site. 

Did buy wifi at Gaer Hyfryd Caravan Club Site (affiliated) as it was £2 for a week and a £10 refundable deposit on the plastic card with the password on it 

I expected to use our mifi this year at Wagtail Country Park but they have now included the wifi. 

Sadly I think the club is starting to price itself out of existence. Club sites are no longer low cost holidays, in fact quite the reverse ! Likewise WiFi which I have found patchy and slow, despite the club's assertions that new tech has speeded it up. And only one device can connect ? Buy yourself a MiFi router and data card. If you got 4g, you got fast broadband and multiple devices can connect securely. Should pay for itself in couple of years. Been a member for over 30yrs, but prices now deter me from using club sites.
