Caravan Wifi

[whistonian]

Good morning all. I have just purchased a holiday home in Chapel St. Leonards where we intend to spend most of the summer!!,the park charges £5 per day for wifi. I guess the way to go is Dongle which I am completely ignorant about . Can anyone guide me to a decent but not to expensive supplier

Consider buying a mifi device, cost about £60. Then find a provider..like 3 for instance...and that way you can connect a number of devices (computer, iPad, iPhone, etc) if you want. Tariffs range from £5 a month upwards depending on how much data you want to use eg. 5gb per month for £7.50 .
Mifi devices are sold in all the mobile phone shops, I'm sure they'd be able to explain it all a bit better than I can.

Start by calculating your likely monthly usage:

(Ignore the 'Compare suppliers' button; that's only for fixed lines).

Then use this as a starting point:

By following the links to each operator, you'll be able to see what's on offer.

When you've found a possible operator, check their coverage using the links below:
