If you mean BT Openzone/Fon, then yes, it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdnamsGirl Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi Can anyone update me on the current wi-fi access situation on the southern rivers please? The pubs I have listed are: Surlingham Ferry Inn Reedham Ferry Inn Chedgrave White Horse Are these still offering wi-fi and are there any others to add to the list? I know that the WRC make a charge for access - how much is this now? Many thanks Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdnamsGirl Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks John I will have to be pedantic and point out it's the Rushcutter's at Thorpe though! We usually have a night at the WRC (those superb showers with hairdryers are worth the mooring fee alone) .... but I don't think I'll be paying £6 for internet access though!

Hockham Admiral Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Carrol, Hi. Of course, you're correct! Off to the boat in a couple of hours and we've booked a meal in the New Inn at Rocklands for later. Don't miss this pub when you're down South!

afishcallededdie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The internet and Wifi connections have been significantly upgraded at Waveney River Centre, watch out for a news story on how we did this soon. In the mean time, in addition to our paid-for WiFi service which works across the Park and marina, we also have free WiFi available to customers in the Waveney Inn and Eddie's Café. This is slightly slower than the paid-for service - but it is free. Yours swimmingly Eddie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afishcallededdie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 And I should also mention that Ferry Marina at Horning now have a similar setup - paid for Wifi across the marina and free in Harry's. Charges (at WRC and HFM) £6 day, £10 short break, £20 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExUserGone Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Ferry house at surlingham and ship at reedham both have wifi, I have used both recently, they are free for customers, ask at the bar for the password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Wherry, Broad View, Lady of the Lake and the Red herring all have free wifi in Oulton broad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julz Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Any MacDonalds, including the one near Morrisons Island at Beccles, any Toby Carvery, including the Captain Manby just up the road from the James Paget hospital on the A12, any Brewers Fayre chain pub, all have free Wi-fi, restrictions on time at some places, but all reasonably priced other wise and no problems with signal to send recieve emails or surf the net using my tablet, the only thing that sometimes fails is streaming TV channels and heavy downloads, especially during peak times.Julz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalrules Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hey, at The Reedcutters, cantley we have free wifi for everyone to use 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzbaz Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I use an iPhone on the o2 network and I tether it to the lappy for NET usage, when there is 3G, but as you know it can be so hit and miss. The question I have is: I believe there is someone who posts blogs on the move with video/pics etc, now I think he is using a MiFi setup, can anyone tell me who that member is, or what unit and provider he uses?

Mowjo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Drifting off topic a bit! but I use this,THREE Huawei E5220 3G Mobile Broadband - 3 GB preloaded – Pay As You Go Mobile Wi-Fi,We use it on the move for our two Tablets and so far the only place we can't get a signal is when we moor near the Ferry pub at Horning, I sometimes use it for my lappy but you have to watch it for auto updates as it will eat you data allowance quite quickly, feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place,,,Frank,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I too have the huawei Mifi on Three, and have augmented it with a portable wifi signal booster from Amazon, which allows me together decent broadband connectivity even in Horning, from where I am writing this.

SweetKingfisher1 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 There is free Wifi at the New Inn Horning. I used it back in May. Regards Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 All boat owners mooring at Tingdene Brundall Bay Marina get Wi-Fi as part of their mooring agreement, I think there is around 6 to 8 masts around the marina. When on the river I use my mobile as a Wi-Fi hot spot if I need to get onto the internet or pick up emails. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Moored on the outside, close to The Wherry, at Oulton last weekend I had fair reception from the 'Wherry Guest' wi-fi. They then moored a Pedro steel boat betwixt Friday Girl and The Wherry but I just logged onto The Commodore's wi-fi, which had much better speed! :clap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayKay Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Been away cruising the Southern from Somerleyton onto Norwich & Back stopping off for 5 nights on the way. No mobile signal on O2/GiffGaff until nearing Norwich although was able to access Wifi Hotspots ~ BTOPENZONE etc... So has been a gods end for updating our trip on Social Media. Good Openzone in Loddon, Some in Brundall but apart from that been nice to be away from the tech that runs our lives! Keep an eye on Diary as written Log for our week away over Guy Fawkes!
