WiFi waste of money?

Also us and we do have alternative means. At only £25 a year I find it good value as an alternative means of accessing the web. It means I can save our phone data allowances for other things, like perhaps streaming the Grand prix and face time calls.

I usually use phone tethered to I pad.  Where signal is poor I buy site WiFi but connect using my booster which means we can connect multiple phones/tablet but just pay one fee📡📱💻

Having found ourselves without internet access on a club site watching others using it with their own contracts or Pay As Go we decided, quite a long time ago now, that the extra £25 or the other daily/weekly rates for limited access and often slow speeds wasn't worth it. As I've said before we don't have expensive phones or use contracts, PYG has been a better option for us and our communications are fairly low key.

Think forward a few years. BT have stated they are to discontinue copper land lines with any voice calls being done by VOIP down fibre.

This is driven by two things - the huge swing of individuals to using a cellular device all the time, including while at home, and the limit of data capacity of copper cable soon being reached.

So those who cannot live without continuous streaming of something will get what they want, either way.

, ,But what do people these days  mean as "value for money?" for some it means useing as much as possible for little or no payment, ie using radiant heaters in awnings that heat the sky and are left on all day,then moan that the site electric keeps tripping

Value for money? Surely that’s something which works as it should that you can use as much or as little as you deem necessary.

Ask yourself if that applies to site Wi-fi and, if the answer is 'yes', then you’ll be happy but, if the answer is 'no', then you won’t consider it VFM.

But surely having to use awning heaters is the fault of the CMC for not providing warm/sunny weather all the time?😆

For £25 plus a night shouldn't we be guaranteed sunshine?

Our family of 4 still find site wifi useful, even though our plan data allowances are now much larger than they were a year ago.  The kids use their allowance during the week quite a lot when out and about, so a few days away constantly online can still take them over.  Like someone else said we use a booster so that you're not limited on phone/laptop wifi inside the van reaching site wifi aerial which could be some distance away slowing the connection down.  Also more than 1 of us can connect 

That said we're away in York this weekend and won't use the club wifi as its ultra slow bronze speed but with good 4g on all networks

We were on New England Bay Bronze last year and it was quicker than some gold wifi. Excellent

For £25 a year, sounds expensive, but I only pay £4 a month for my mobile, and it suits me fine. I pay the £25, but share it with my daughter and son who also have caravans and young children, so when they are on site they can use it.
