WiFi waste of money?

all calls and texts +1gb data and none are used up

1gb of data which you don’t use but you buy club Wi-fi? 🤔

How far does 1gb go? Possibly not far enough. I have a couple of EE 5gb sims if needed. £10 each. This site free wifi. Other commercial site at Garstang wifi for two tablets was £10 for a week although we stayed 5 nights only. We have a 2gb sim unused which will probably do us for the couple of C&CC sites later in the trip

I like to see what i am doing,and we still have 150 + days when not on club sites 

I doubt that it would cost £1m to network wi-fi around club sites.   It is remarkably inexpensive to do this.     Cost would probably be to buy more bandwidth at each site.     But the OP makes a good point; site fees could be reduced!!

More seriously, an education programme for users might help.    It should be made clear that site wi-fi is only intended for checking/sending emails and occasional browsing, not for streaming movies etc.     If those guilty of streaming think about it, to provide this service The Club would need to spend many million of £s.    On a 70 pitch site the bandwidth would need to be 70 times what we have at home.   That does not exist in the current form and if it was it would be unaffordable.

Streamers dont realise that once they start streaming on anything but a huge fibre connection they use all available bandwidth and lock everyone else out!   Selfish!

I do as others have said and use 4G when it is available and link my pad to it sometimes.    But can do without, and the TV.     I like to get away to be away from the technolgy.

5G is about two years away!

What is this wifi-something you do after eating sprouts?  If it is not essential to vaners then those that want it should pay for it all. Far too much going on that is paid for by us members that don't want it.

£25 a year seems reasonable to me. Sometimes it works sometimes it’s slow. I tether from my phone where possible so no extra costs. I have 20gb data so no point buying WiFi unless no phone signal. 

U can’t ban people from streaming by telling them.  U can prevent streaming by stopping the WiFi connecting to streaming sites... 

I have no reason to suppose that wifi is not paid for by those that use it. Do you?

I find the Club WiFi very poor. I’ve only ever paid for it once and thought what waste of money it was as it was so slow, and that was when it finally connected. I’m an Apple fan and there’s not many places we go that you can’t get 4G so use my iPhone and tether it to my iPad or MacBook.
