I know it's use is supposed to be limited but does anyone get any connection with it at all? I had assumed I would at least be able to connect with the Club website for match news, but never do. If others succeed, what am I doing wrong?

It's very slightly better than it used to be, but still unusable at the times you most want to use it.

I use it and it's ok for me when I'm out on the concourse but when I go into my seat I can't get on it at all.
I have heard that they are thinking of putting a new system in that will give more bandwidth to share so if this goes ahead things should improve.

I never seem to have any luck with it and don't really know why. I've got a iPhone that's about a year old, and use the Vodafone network, in case those details are pertinent. I guess they probably aren't.

I can sometimes access live scores via the app but the rest of the internet is a problem, as is sending texts, while at the ground.

It works for me when I upload videos I have taken to Facebook, during the match.

Generally it works OK for me. Maybe using the app might help you: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-wifi-finder/id328975335?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=4

The only time it doesn't work for me is during half time.

I sometimes have to log back in again which can be a pain. Uploading videos to facebook I'd question though. Once outside though I get nothing, neither calls or data. On Virgin because it's cheap and rarely use my phone.

It was massively under-specced by Sky. I think the actual internet connection was under-specced too, but the club didn't want to pay any more for it.

Stadium WiFi in the UK is so crap. In the US, NFL owners pay for good wireless to be installed and maintained as it is all part of the fan engagement, keep people there for longer etc. In the UK, no-one wants to pay for anything and are more interested in you taking a sponsorship deal or bulk buying some hospitality so the deal is cash neutral (at best.)

So you end up with Sky and the like getting involved, doing some kind of partnership where they get all our details and get to see what we are doing.

Same - Vodafone/iPhone - absolutely useless after about 2:20 until train home gets to Moulscoomb, 4G just as useless.

Exactly this. I've given up on any form of connectivity in and around the stadium.

Absolutely fine for me in the North and throughout games. The only time I struggle is when I'm waiting for the coach to leave the ground; the 4G then is unusable.
