Splitting VOOM wifi signal


Recommended Posts

Not really - think of the WiFi package as ordering a water service to your cabin that delivers 5 cups per minute. No one cares (including RCI) if you install 4 pipes to divert that water in 4 different directions inside you cabin - you are not getting any more (or consuming) than 5 cups per minute. Sure, 4 people at a time can drink the water instead of waiting to line up at the original pipe, but there's no gain/cheating - still drinking 5 cups per minute. You are paying for the water - not the pipe.

 

If they don't care, why do they track how many devices are connected and charge different prices based on how many devices are allowed to be connected? They apparently care.

 

You may think of it in your water/pipe analogy but RCI clearly don't. If they were selling a fixed amount of data like Disney does, it would apply. It's reasonable for RCI to assume someone using multiple devices will use more data than someone using only one, so they charge more.
