Get one with good hard drive capacity – remember you won't be able to store all those high res photos from your camera on a Tablet without seriously degrading it's memory capacity. Forget anything that doesn't have at least 3 USB ports or that isn't compatible with your Camera or other tech gear you may be taking.
If you're taking a Laptop - BUY A GOOD ONE – If you want to take a laptop get the best quality lightweight version that you can afford. A larger Tablet isn't going to take up any more space than a mini nor add any significant weight.

Most of the time you will be walking or biking around with a backpack, shoulder bag or some sort of pack full of travel essentials like water, camera, maps, food, etc. BUY A GOOD ONE – Preferably an iPad but whatever suits your budget.įorget the dinkys**t mini stuff buy a big one – they're better. Even getting Emails and posting on Facebook can be a exercise in frustration.

So you won't be updating your virus software or operating system or sending hi-res photos to the rels back home.

The best ones are those that supply free WiFi in the Bar area or supply you with the password if you buy a drink (a lot cheaper than buying a hour for 5Euro, which is pretty much the standard charge at most of the camping grounds we have stayed at).ĭon't laugh the Caravan Club charges 5Pound an hour.Īlso be aware that virtually every campground WiFi network restrict the use of P2P connections and large uploads/downloads. 200 people all using a campground network can reduce the bandwidth to dial-up speed unless it's a top of the line network and few campgrounds can afford that outlay. It's not the signal strength that counts it the bandwidth over the entire WiFi network that does. Where the WiFi is good it doesn't matter and where it is poor it doesn't help. If your thinking of buying a WiFi extender then don't. The best WiFi we had was at an Aire in Puerto Gelves - Seville and it was free. And you don't find out how bad or good it is until you do pay. Yes there are some great examples like Bonterra in Benicassin, Los Madrilas in Isla Plana and Le Druides in Carnac but most is not worth the exhorbidant price you will pay. Anyone who seriously thinks they can sit outside a McD and use a WiFi extender/router to pull in a clean strong signal from across the carpark is dreaming.Ĭamp WiFi is pretty much rubbish.
There are no restrictions on downloads and it fast and free but limited coverage. The best WiFi is at McDonalds or Starbucks. This reply comes with a caveat - This is my experience ONLY over the past 3 months. If you have a smartphone, and regularly enjoy a cup of coffee (maybe somehing stronger) many of the 'Salons de the' and the bars/restaurants have free wifi, though you mostly have to ask for teh password. When using a 'pay' network, we always tend to turn the computer on when on the pitch to see if there is any wi-fi signal available prior to going into reception to purchase it. If you are travlling around, check from the Ozmosis website where it is available. We are on a site now for almost a month and the cost is €40 for unlimited use. Quite a few siteswe are finding use a 'national' network called Ozmosis, and this can be purchased on line (or by card at reception) and is reasonably charged if you want long-term. Some campsites you get free access, often having to sit near bar or reception to get decent signal, whilst on others you can pay to have by the day/hours or whatever, but can be expensive. Location: Worcestershire Hymer Van 522 2007Ĭurrently in France and travelling around for the last 3-4 weeks, we have found a variety of wifi on offer (or not as the case may be!). I reckon an a 50% success rate in Europe from where ever I am parked. You do need to work at it and tweak it to get a signal and I use INSSIDER software to tune the antenna in to get the best signal I find our directional wifi antenna very good in Europe. Well if what I hear is correct and new SFR customers have to actually now opt out of their routers being FON enabled then the FON network in France will grow quite nicely over the next couple of years. The problem in France is that in the past you had to opt into the FON network so nobody did. With the use of a wifi antenna I can pretty much get online via Openzone most places in the UK. There are currently millions of SFR Hotspots that SFR customers can access like BT customers can access BT Openzone here. That said, some good news is that I heard on MHF that SFR who are like BT in France are to make their new customer routers automaticlly opted into the FON network. I work in IT and yes I know its possible but its also illegal. If a router is password protected, any method of bypassing this and gaining access even just to browse the internet is a criminal offence.
