Wi-fi on club sites

The answer is not to buy site Wi-fi. Make your own arrangements which will work better anyway. 

In this day and age it's a useless piece of technology, a bit like this web site.

I think you have to be careful in your comparisons. You will only be on the bus or in the restaurant for limited time whereas paid access to the Club WiFi gives you 24/7 access should you want it. Having said that unless you are going to make good use of the annual WiFi pass it can be very expensive for short term use. Like many others I now tend to use my phone and its 4G connection as a means of providing me with access to the internet. If there is a reasonable signal, which I have found to be the case in most places, the speeds and reliability are far higher than what the Club WiFi provides. It won't work everywhere, the Buxton and Clumber Park sites being a couple of examples, so you may have to use the Club WiFi as a fall back position in such places.

Disagree, the last club site i was on was at Looe some 12 months ago, when you could access the network, and i say when with some trepidation, it was so slow it was almost unuseable, when i complained i was told that too many people were accessing the network. Like many now i use the data on my 4G network.

At the price it works out for me, and as i only use it for what is expected of it i am quite happy with what i normally get , and as as spoken about before it is in most places supplying a rural village of 100 plus "cottages" from a copper cable ,and  very often some distance from the nearest BT cabinet

That mirrors my findings on the majority of club sites, Rufs.

Cornwall is well served for telecommunications - high speed fibre for landline broadband and 4G on the mobi network - so it’s nothing to do with being a rural location as suggested up page.

And has Looe site got Fibre?,as the cost to run it to premises is prohibitive ,have not been so do not know the area round the site ,some friends we have in Norfolk have Fibre running about quarter of a mile from theirs and four other houses and to run fibre to them would cost £6000 per property

I think some  of the problems on Club sites are caused by users trying to use it for streaming.  Have found the same on CCC sites.  Makes it impossible to get logged on while they are hogging it!

We just use our own 3 data SIM now, with a mini router to allow us both to be connected at the same time.

Yes but don’t take my word or it, see for yourself.

Just accept that the site Wi-fi isn’t up to the job, JV.
