Spent £30 for a years access to the clubs Wi Fi, and have been swindled 
Out of 8 sites only one had a slow ,but acceptable level of performance, the other Seven where that bad that most of the time the pages timed out ,some times it took ages to simply log on 
When you bought this up to the site managers , you got the same reply. it was members streaming that was the issue 
If that is the case , then the club should block streaming on sites where the Wi Fi is not up to it

Have recently spent 1 month touring England, for £15per month with O2 I got all the data I could eat, including streaming, on all the sites I visited (not club sites I hasten to add.)

That might have been a 'one off' offer by them but I have no doubt that other providers might have similar packages. Of course these will also work on CLs, in the high street or mostly wherever you are

Don't bother with the clubs expensive option if it doesn't work for you.

That is to say (not club sites I hasten to add.) I meant that I did not visit club sites but CLs.

Generally, I find the 3 Network has been fine to access the internet whilst on site.  Never bothered with the site Wi-Fi.  I don't stream videos or do games, but I have taken part in Zoom meetings on a fairly regular basis.  It does, of course, vary from location to location, but have always managed.  As mobile networks get better, and with some exceptions, I can see the need for site Wi-Fi will generally get less...  As it gets used less, I would imagine it will be more expensive to run (as less folk with be paying for it).... I wonder if it could well disappear in the future?

I never accept obvious false apologies 
This was the first year  i have used that CCMC WiFi, so had no experience of the clubs Wi Fi to make a comment , yet you claim to have a memory of some non existent post.
Yes i have read the different levels, but as i never used video streaming ,and all my usage was for basic web browsing ,on all the sites i visited, by the clubs   description i should have  had no problem, yet as i posted many times the page timed out, would not load  or  froze etc

I assume you mean mobile data not Wi Fi, that is  a different issue, nothing to do with the club

Read to the end of David's post, TMTO, and you will see where site wifi fits into the scenario.

I did read the end of the post, and ignored it, as  mobile data and tethering has nothing to do , and is irrelevant to the issue of the Wi Fi service the Club provides, and  member pay for

  1. David's post was relevant as he discussed site Wi-fi vs mobi network.
  2. He did not mention tethering.
  3. To ignore part of his post and then round on him due to your own choice of ignoring the relevance makes no sense.
