Not at all.

Fair is good.

But, 10 seconds thought later, free gives you "Well what do you expect for free ! Get off my site you skiving git and don't come back."

I would say that free is the most trouble free way of doing it for the site owners.

If its free and you have issues with it, you always have the defense that its a free service, on the other hand if people are paying for a service no matter what the cost, people will expect that service to work 24/7 at a reasonable speed.

If you think you are going to make a reasonable amount of money charging for it and all your costs and headaches that go with it will be covered then charge for it, i think most people would be happy to pay £1 per day or say £5 for a week for wifi as long as it works and at a reasonable speed.

However if you are just about going to cover costs by charging for the service it may be simpler to give it away and not have people hammering on your door complaining its taking 3 days to download the latest Batman movie!!

Free is good and may well attract some customers, however if you charge (no matter how much/little) you must be willing to provide the service and backup that paying customers demand.

Thanks Dazzer, good feedback. The thought is to trial for a while to see what issues arrise from offering the wireless broadband, we haven't started yet though as BT have still got to sort their admin. Had a phone call at 0430 hours on Wednesday morning to put me in a good mood and tell me that the line was now active. Low and behold, it wasn't. Still waiting for them to pull their finger out.
When it is finally activated we can then offer a security code to all clients and ask for feedback. This should take a few weeks and give us enough information to be able to go firm on a policy and of course, how much maintainence is going to be required.
Anyone that does manage to get to Cornish Farm over the next few weeks are invited to use the system and feedback to us as to how they get on.

WiFi Update

Well, the wireless appears to be working seamlessly now, after a couple of power issues that were kindly and professionally sorted by the wonderful lads at VanBitz.

We have extended our range to cover the entire site by using a 270 Mbps Wireless N Mimo router and elevating it in a box above building height to achieve line of sight.

The best news is that WiFi is going to remain FREE for at least the next month here at Cornish Farm as we run the system in and continue to improve it.

When you visit just ask the Wardens (Me or Sue) for the current security code and you can get connected as and when you like.

Best Regards,

Mark.
