Internet charges

I don't think £25 is unreasonable, Steve, but I won't pay it because I've had more bad experiences than good with site wifi.

I think the idea of accessing the CC website FOC is to encourage people to make bookings.

We access the internet on our 2 iPads by tethering them to my iPhone which has 3g & 4g depending on where the site is. We could use it to stream video but in reality we use it for FaceBook and in my case for answering emails from customers. It is always on, never overloaded and its included in the £15 per month I pay for my mobile phone package.

Google 'Skyroam' - will provide access to ANY service provider who operates in that area and works as a mobile hot-spot for as many devices as you want to use.

There should be a two level service.  A free one suitable for reading emails and such and a pay one with faster speeds for those who want to spend more time online.

Remus, why should there be such a service as you describe? Could if be that it would suit you personally? As I said on the previous page, nothing is 'free'. It either gets added to and included in everyone's pitch fee, or those who want it pay the asking price. I don't want to see my membership fee or pitch fees being used to subsidise a second class wifi service.

There would be little point, without spending vast sums of money it would not be possible to provide a high speed service for such a concentrated number of people. It is also unlikely anyone would want to pay for it, if  the basic service was included in the price. This would leave the CC with no option but to recover the cost of installation  by further increasing site or membership fees.  The system we have at the moment is very fair. If you want internet access you pay for it, If you don't you don't. Access to the CC's site including CT is free, so you can book sites, or even post without subscribing.

We get "free" tarmac roads whether we need them or not; "free" night time lighting whether we want it or not; "free" early morning alarm calls from mowers whether we want them or not; "free" provision of EHUs whether we use them or not; and there are more.

So why not free wifi?  The argument about amount of usage does not hold up when compared to being able to use the toilets as much as one wants - also "free".

You know as well as I that none of it is 'free', Nav. I wouldn't mind the wifi comprising part of an all inclusive pitch fee, as the other items do, providing it gave good service.

Write your comments here... Not to mention the free kids play area when you have no kids with you, and ditto the dog walk.  And the free toilets and showers when you have your own in tne 'van.  If wifi is available on site it should be as free as the rest of the services - ie, included in the pitch price.

Clearly of course it is not free, I for one pay £25 a year for it and I am happy to do so. If it is included in the pitch price these will clearly have to rise slightly to cover the cost. Personally as I use the wifi I don't mind either way.
