Optical fibre cable is part of the answer Julie darlin', but the other problem is that your broadband modem is a long way from the phone exchange and therefore the quality of the signal is dropping off.

Re: Wobbly and slow and very unreliable
Julie, the camp site wifi is only as good as the router they use, and if they don't have an extender (or whatever), then surely the facility is useless? When I visited the caravan site in Suffolk recently, wifi was only available in the entertainment area, obviously where the router would be. The signal wouldn't reach caravans.The owners need to have a rethink, if that is what they are trying to attract new customers with.
ETA. The Suffolk place charged PAYG on their wifi. Is your place charging, Julie?

Re: Wobbly and slow and very unreliable
I think the tourers pay per night but us permanent static vanners aren't paying. Unless our ground rent goes up but they assured us last month it wasn't going up this year as we had all done our own mowing so the costs are down for a change.

Re: Wobbly and slow and very unreliable
I'm home, back to my lovely BT broadband that is quick and reliable. I really don't think I'll be bothering at the van again, I think there were about 40 of us sharing the connection not sure how many at once of course, but no one enjoyed the experience. One chap had camped in Africa and said he had a better connection and speed in the bush !|
