Trying to find a CL

JV, Virgin media covers WGC, gives excellent speeds. You might want to consider looking at a new internet provider? You can get some great deals, some excellent coverage. At the moment I have a free 5G contract sim, and this is plenty for me for what I want to do when away. I use an IPhone SE, so can pick up excellent coverage most places, including in certain locations in Clumber Park (but not on the Club Site). It will simply lock onto whichever signal from whichever provider it will find, EE, Virgin, etc….. OH has a Lebara, and that does the same, only with a huge data allowance.

Our internet contract has a minimum speed, if they can’t meet that consistently they have to pay compensation. In our case it’s 50 MB download, we normally get 70 MB. If your not getting your contracted speeds you need to start harassing them. Sometimes the problem is just down to a poor connection, water in a joint in our case, where it went into the ground from the overhead post.

As to mobile, it might not be universal but it’s not far short with a couple of separate networks on your phones. O2 and EE in our case. We traveled all around France and the north of Scotland last year and the only place we couldn’t get a good signal on at least one was Clumber Park.😂 Recently I have noticed my phone showing 5G in more and more places, so that appears to be expanding fast.

Not in Clumber Park it won’t. The emergency facility just means your phone will work on any available network for 999 calls. If there are not any networks available it won’t make a call. Fortunately there are very few areas where at least one of the networks does not have coverage.

With modern technology it all depends on the area  you are in  if it works,?  in the distant future it may be available. nation wide but unill then a book is far more reliable and as for emergencies? 

This morning my tablet I am using is buffering on all websites because of poor Internet in this area  (at home)and as for phone signals the only network that most find works in this area is Vodaphone all others it is only usable for voice calls for most people is from upstairs

Yes that's why I mentioned "dead" areas, rather like mountain rescue telling walkers never to rely on phone signals.

Good news that Android users will be able to have satellite emergency contact in the not too distant future.

Starlink uses satellites that give folk in super remote areas access to good WiFi access, its a wonderful innovation👍🏻

Yup👍 We use a cottage in the Scottish Borders, zilch in terms of any signals, you have to climb a hill half a mile away to get a phone signal. Satellite wifi had been installed on our last visit, brilliant👍
