Internet cost for year

You have to do it while on a cc site its £25 for the year for one device at a time,just be aware it is not like internet at home,as it is not for streaming of gaming it is purely for emails and searching internet,and can be slow in some areas as you have to be aware that most sites are not in areas of good coverage

Just a point to consider, check that you can actually get the wifi on site before you hand over your money.

As you have to pay online then thats not a problem.

Until you realise that it is so slow that you cannot do anything useful .... CHECK FIRST!

I suggest that you log into the free CC web site and do a couple of searches when you arrive on site.   If you are happy with.the slow connection then pay your money. 

Clumber Park is one CC site which doesn't have WiFi coverage.  On most sites we've been on it's been reasonable, although definitely not fast!  But sufficient for me to check emails and look things up on the net.

Tried to use the wifi at Broadway the other weekend,  very slow, especially in the evening.

You mean that Clumber Park's coverage is not good? It does have Wifi. I was there last year and there was a sign saying no Wifi but in fact mine worked reasonably OK. It depended where you were on the site (according to the wardens). I would have expected them to have resolved that by now and, if not, it's a bad show. 

On the whole the Wifi on CC sites is not great and I have been among those complaining bitterly about it in the past. But it has definitely improved and on many sites that I stayed at last year I was able to get a decent connection and log in to my office machine and do a bit of work. It is not all bad as the posts on here imply.

Reference JVB66's point: streaming is not somehow prevented as one might infer from his post. It is just that the speed often precludes it and where it doesn't the CC encourage a kind of odd ethical approach where one is not supposed to stream and slow things down for others. This will have to change if the CC is to remain in the 21st century. There seems to be some kind of mythical thinking that anything better is not possible.

There is nothing mythical about it, there are limits to what is possible down a length of copper cable, even with fibre in close proximity. You only have to ask some of those who live in rural locations and are lucky to get a viable signal. Yes there are ways around these problems, but just how much are you prepared to pay for your wifi. Folk complain enough about the reasonable £25 a year.

We were there recently (November and December, each time for just the 1 night) and we must have been on that part of the site where it didn't work, because we couldn't get it at all.  There is a sign up at the office which states there is no WiFi.

I don't think that it's the fault of the CC on that site though, I do remember a member of staff (?Natasha) posting something about the WiFi issue on that site, ie the fact that rural broadband is a problem.
