Just spent £345 for two weeks at Bladon Chains in Oxford. If I wanted wi-fi it would have cost me more.When we got the bus into Oxford wi-fi was free,when we went for something to eat wi-fi was free.Am I the only one who thinks we,re getting ripped off by the club when it comes to wi-fi on sites.

Yes but don’t take my word or it, see for yourself.

Just accept that the site Wi-fi isn’t up to the job, JV.

Not correct if used as per "requested" but as usual as with all things that some think i have paid for it so i will use as much as i want,  and site wifi is still better at £27 for 24/7 access than a large amount of smaller villages that would love to have speeds  have on numerous club sites for that price, and just as villages and our friends in  Norfolk do , go on line at quieter timeswink

The super-fast fibre connectivity is correct, JV. It’s the site wifi that’s rubbish. I know, you’ll have an answer for that as well🙄

Give it up, JV, you’ve seen the evidence but it matters not. The wifi is just rubbish and that’s all there is to it.

I've tried on a few sites to log in to this steam powered site, which shouldn't need subscription & failed. I don't even try now & use my phone as a hotspot instead.

If there's Wi-Fi on a site, it's naive to expect users to limit their use.

What I,m saying is that as members we Shouldn,t have to buy it, it should be there for us free if we choose to use it.

We use CC sites a fair bit and I have subscribed to the annual charge for a number of years. At the times of year we use sites I have rarely had a problem. Last year, unusually, that included a fair chunk of July and August.

It would seem that it is those that don't use it that have an issue.🤔

I for one am happy to keep paying, as I suspect if it was made a free for all it would become unusable, as with much so called "free" WiFi.

"It would seem that it is those that don't use it that have an issue.🤔"

That’s an unfair comment, Steve. We don’t use it because it doesn’t work! If we can’t even get the free access to this website, why on earth would we pour money into proving it's generally not fit for purpose? 

You keep paying if it suits you but don’t, please, suggest some of us are wrong. We are right for us. I think you’ll agree that it depends very much on which sites are visited and that will colour our experiences.
