Hi

we've been members for about 3 years now and love, love, love we are truly hooked with the caravan addiction laughing  We love going to the New Forest sites and I have always brought the internet year option which is great and so easy to set up and connect to.  My query is and apologies if this has already been discussed, I have only used a small part of my minutes (due to the obvious ugh foot-in-mouth lockdown) and wondered if anyone knew if the club were extending the minutes into the next year or will I loose them and have to get another year subscription?

Thanks in advance for your help

 

Regards Claire

But the warnings are there as per my screenshot. It’s rather contradictory though.

I agree re contradictory. I think much of the problem is down to the fact that this higher speed is only being introduced this year and they have not updated some of the wording. So they say streaming is both not possible and possible on different parts of the page. What I don’t understand is there claim re a speed of up to 100MB at  107 campsites. Tewkesbury has had this for some time. When not many folk are using it, due to the dynamic bandwidth used on gold sites, I recorded speeds of 14 MB, easily enough for streaming. However, on an evening when more were online the speed dropped to 1 / 2 MB only sufficient for browsing / emails. Unless of course they mean 100MB each, and there goes the Tamworth squadron.πŸ–πŸ–πŸ–πŸ–

If you read the latest club WiFi update from May very few sites were then connected

Tewkesbury has had 100MB to the site for several years. If this new enhanced service is only replicating that at other sites, I can’t see how it will be normally suitable for streaming as they clearly claim. Most streaming will be during the evening. As I put during this time the speed on my pad dropped to 1 / 2 MB. So a few might have managed to stream, but not many.
