CAMC have put up the cost of wifi on its sites by 10% on the annual charge to £27.50. Have I missed something as there doesn’t appear to be anything in the way of explanation on the website or magazine?. Are they hoping that no-one will notice?

I've bought a yearly pass for some years now but no longer - with 4G becoming so available and the CAMC sites I use generally only having hotspots and even those are often useless, I'm going 4g only this year.
If there was genuine quality wifi - across the full site - then I'd go back to a pass, just to save the phone as 50p a week is actually reasonable

it's only 50p a week if you're on site using it every week of the year...
go away for a couple of weeks a year (as some are limited to...) and it's a lot dearer....per week.
like many others, with the relaxing of mobile 'rules' for European use, just having one 'system' (for all destinations) works best for us.

We have been useing the on site wifi system since it was available for a twelve month payment, and on the majority of sites where it is available,has normally been quite usable, except clumber park but even mobile phones are a no no there,the times when it is really slow is normally where it is not used as specified (ie streaming films and games)

"Where it is available" has a bearing on my choice, JV. A lot of club sites north of The Border don’t have site wifi and privately owned ones certainly don’t so my £27.50 would be largely wasted.
Even where it is available, I find site Wi-fi pathetically slow a lot of the time so I’d sooner not bother.
Posted on 12/04/2019 07:00 by WhittakerrNot sure why you would want to include it into site fees when you say you prefer to use your sim cards as site wifi is rubbish?
I didn't say i would want to include it into site fees. I have no need for wifi on site and it wouldn't bother me if none was provided thereby saving the club money.

At £27 per year wifi shouldn't be costing the club any money. I think this charge is too high. I recently stayed on a C&CC club site in the Lake District and enjoyed free wifi with a good reception. Most private sites we have visited also have free wifi only sometimes not very good.
