Why do we have 1 set of prices for daily, weekly, yearly use but 3 different speed bands, from 100mbs down to 1, gold silver and bronze.
the bronze daily rate should be minimal
just back from rowntree park which is bronze, could not even log on the speed was so low
Posted on 03/06/2021 10:01 by JVB66Not at the price we get via the club WiFi and the amount of sites we normally use per year

That may be a valid point for those, like yourself, that spend a lot of time away almost exclusively on Club sites. The annual fee is good value. However those that have Smart Phones will inevitably have a data allowance within their monthly package. It therefore makes sense to use that data and whilst I have not yet used a Club site with "Super Broadband" the speed I get with my phone has certainly been a lot faster and more reliable than any WiFi on a Club site I have experienced. There are at least a couple of Club sites where there is little or no 3G/4G signal, Clumber and Buxton spring to mind, and to use Club WiFi for the odd day or two, or even the odd week, is very expensive.

received wisdom is that EE and Vodafone provide the most extensive and reliable coverage.
even cheap 'plans' give good data allowances and choosing, say, a phone deal with one of these and a seperate data sim for a mifi type device with the other would cover most eventualities.
not everyone does/wants to stay on a Club site, using prehaps a mix ot CCC, CL/CS/THS, commercials, and, as TG mentions, sites abroad....
once the range or requirements/locations increases the more it makes sense to become independent.

For anyone wishing to do the NC500 then I can tell you that EE is the best network to guarantee a signal around the north and parts of the west coast.
I'm with Lebara who I think use O2 and OH is with 3, both of us had issues at some point of the trip, mine worked better in west than OHs but neither worked around parts of the north.

The reality is the club wi-fi is simply not fit for purpose and the ‘offer’ is years behind the market competition. We have stayed on private/commercial sites with far better wi-fi performance included in the price. People want/need to stream, especially families with children or those who need occasional access to their office/business. I accept in a very few locations the wifi infrastructure/capability is outside the clubs control however that is no excuse for telling members not to stream etc.

When you are staying in a tempory village of what could be 200 plus units at the end of a very long cable run, is it a wonder that it is asked of users not to make the system any slower by streaming
We have some friends in Norfolk who have four neigbours and to get fibre to their houses,,,Bt want £6000 per property
