WiFi waste of money?

I thought they had recently improved the situation at Clumber Park? I am not keen on Hotspot only internet connections. There was one at Bladon Chains but no way I was going to use in the freezing cold of a December night!!! Fortunately, although not the best of signals, I did manage to get a 4G signal there that was enough for what I wanted.

I paid the £27.50 which isnt bad for a full year of usage on CMC sites IMHO, but it is obvious that some folks are using it for streaming video which grabs nearly all the bandwidth. Making everything grind almost to a halt. So I wont be buying it again.

We found the same a couple of years back, impossible to even get connected on some sites when there is a sporting event on, so we have not bought it since.
We have our own 3 internet with router to allow several devices to connect at the same time, works for us, and often gets a better signal than via phone.

The problem is not so much the wifi its the way the broadband arrives at the site as most are normally in rural areas and the signal arrives via the old telephone wires were as in urban areas we have fibre optic cables, much more efficient

Not just rural. York Rowntree Park is only shown as bronze (1-8MB over for the whole site). I thought it seemed unlikely but the BT speed checker shows a download speed of 3 - 7 MB with a guarantee of 1MB. I assume the nearest fibre cabinet must be a fair distance away.
