Posted on 21/10/2019 16:28 by JVB66I pay the annual fee to air Angel to use the supplied on cc site WiFi and have found it quite adequate on most sites that it is available, for our needs and what it is intended to be used for ,and next year will renew again

Good for you, but for the most part it’s unsatisfactory. If you’re on a site with a handful of others it’s probably ok, but if it’s busy and the wrong time of day, forget it. That’s not unique to CMC but typical of most wifi networks outside of the home environment. Using data link via your mobile provider is the only reliable way of ensuring useable connectivity. I used to subscribe but not any longer - waste of money.

It’s probably tied in with the numbers that want access. I stayed on a private site near Pickering, and it was super fast, even for streaming, but there weren’t that many units on site. Bottom line, when a club site ( in my experience) is busy, it isn’t up to the task. We had our daughter stay with us at Moreton in Marsh, in a pod thingy. The price included WiFi access, which wasn’t available throughout the duration of their stay.

It certainly is tied in with the number of units. On Gold and Silver sites they operate a dynamic bandwidth, so the slice of the total you get varies as more come on line. Although even at Cirencester, a bronze site, with only a slow connection, I only rarely could not get on line even when the site was full at weekends. We had a seasonal so used it extensively. If your daughter couldn't get online at anytime, that tends to suggest a problem. Unfortunately it does occasionally go down and it does seem to take a long time to sort it. I don't think Airangel have a rapid response team.😂

I am always surprised that some of us find the service to be fine and some do not. When available it has generally worked fine for me. So much so that I can recall the times that it hasn't as they have been the exception. On our preferred pitch area at Meathop Fell Grange Over Sands site it was hopeless and we used our own data sim.
Another site with a pool, would it be Looe, was fine except for one of five days. Strangely during 15 nights at Southport last year the wifi was poor on two nights. No apparent reason with regard to more users etc. Stayed there many times without problems previously

I was on Sandringham site at the start of May this year and wifi was certainly OK. I will have watched a few 10 minute youtube videos of some that I follow. I was amazed at how fast the wifi was for us at New England Bay a couple of years ago .... also bronze

When we are at home
the internet at certain times of the day slows down, and as a Virgin engineer advised , all types of internet is subject to capacity limitations affecting the speeds that are available at times and fibre is no different, copper which is still the main source of supply in large areas of the UK is the most susceptible
