Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French, and it is all organised by the Swiss.

Is that with'3?
I can't find the sim cards for sale on eBay anymore. Only 1gb for a month for 1p plus postage of £10. Bought 3 last time so I suppose it works out the same.

Yes - it's with 3 - perhaps they've stopped the source so it may be back to £10 for 1 month/1GB.

They have gone up!!!!!!
The one month ones are probably better if you only use the dongle when in the van and only go away perhaps 1 or 2 weeks with a break in between.

Hardly reasonable when PAYG mobile broadband is only £10 for a month.

Assuming you can get a signal of course!

Hardly reasonable when we got 5 days for €6 in France Posted Image here http://www.lavillehuchet.co.uk/

You can use up 5 hours very quickly if you forget to log off!

I have paid €5 an hour in France so its not really a proper comparision. £1 an hour is not bad if you don't want to be on the internet for hours and hours, if you do you make other arrangements. I also have a dongle which I can use but in France its expensive to use and also signal strength is as poor as it is in the UK when you are out in the countryside as so many sites are.

we go to a couple of sites in France where in their literature they say that they are going to charge -- one says €1 per hour and the other €1 per half hour..
But we have never been charged at the first site -- being regulars we have used the same "log-in" for years
- when asking how much they say don't bother..

But at the other they lock the door of the room so with out paying you cant get on -- not many people were using it..
They went to the Auberge up the road and sat with a beer there - for free..

How much does it really cost the camp site owner??

Are the cost reasonable --what is reasonable??

Reasonable is what the consumer is prepared to pay, or not in our case on most sites!
