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?

We have found the WiFi to be adequate, if used as intended. However, I don't think investing in a years subscription would be worth it, as you are unlikely to get much chance to use it, at least for the next few months.

Adequate and used as intended.... as intended by whom? Its certainly not adequate for me and i am not a high data user. It is simply rubbish and too many private sites show how it can be done with free high speed wifi. The club bought a pup with the current provider.

I have a share in a narrowboat and use a dongle to access the internet on my laptop.  Last year it cost around £15.00 with "3" for 3GBs and lasted for 3 months from when I first used it so I think that £27.50 is very reasonable.  Of course it depends on which sites you use as of course, some are not C&MHC internet accessible and how much you use it as to whether you would  consider it reasonable.

I'm on Vodafone and have unlimited data text and calls,

As a lorry driver and spend the week away in my truck, so can watch T.V. on the many apps available to me. I use my phone as a hot spot and use my tablet to watch t.v.

Used club wifi a couple of times and found it near useless.

The yearly price is liveable with but as all the sites are closed and likely to remain closed for at least another three weeks shouldn't the club be suspended wifi dates? Being a member of the Camping and Caravan club they have announced that all memberships will be extended until the campsites are open again.

The club don't actually provide the WiFi you sign up for and pay your annual subscription to Airangel. So I guess your contract is with them. Who's to say if they will even be in business when this is all over.
