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

It’s not really the same thing at all but, even if it was, to use your figures £6000/200 = £30 per pitch so not bad really when each £30 could be recouped many times.

Nah, it’s just a rubbish system 😂😂😂

 Then  as I said £6000per property, in one lane , and not far from the main road so how much to run the supply to a site any distance from the nearest fibre supply, even at home we are nearer to a BT cabinet than the houses in Norfolk are and we have not got fibre broadband,its not the connection that is expensive it's the cable run.that most of the cost isundecided

It’s not nit picking at all but making a valid point.

Indeed we do have high speed fibre broadband, and also mains electricity, water and drainage. I don’t see the relevance.🤷🏻‍♂️

It was a nice surprise this year to discover wi-fi is free at "The Friendly" club. Along with age concession I was well pleased. You can't expect high speeds when there are so many users in site.

How is it there are many examples of non-club sites that provide Wifi with streaming at a speed and cost the ‘club’ cannot? Similar size, similar locations etc etc. Fed up of excuses. Given the apparent limitations the service should be free.

I think what would be interesting to know is what percentage of people onsite actually use the Club WiFi? Members now have plenty of connection alternatives which many of us use instead of Club WiFi. If onsite usage was somewhere in the region of 80% there could be an argument for it being included in the site fees. However a much lower percentage would mean that people who don't use it would also be paying for it. I appreciate that it's a well worn phrase but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Somewhere things have to be paid for either directly or indirectly. I am not sure how sustainable Club WiFi will be going into the future and wonder if the Club actually get any payback for the investment made?

I thought the situation with the 'other club' was that the system had alrady been fully paid for by members' wifi payments over the years and, as it owed them nothing, it was given back, free, to those members.

i guess with CC, their contract with Air Angel (or whoever) is just an ongoing service rental and will never be paid for.
