AT SSR now - when for free internet??

[Saratoga Souris]

I am at SSR now and noticed that we still have to pay for internet.
When does the free internet start. Everything I have read said 2008 but I never saw a date.

Should have been since Tuesday.

Just saw a post somewhere else that someone has been getting it free since the 26th.

I called guest services and the CM I spoke to said that they were not aware of any change. The CM then spoke to a manager who confirmed that it will take effect "sometime later in the year".

I sure would like to know what the REAL answer is

I checked out of BWV today and was informed by a manager, after inquiring about my charge for internet, that yes it should be free, but there has been no authorization to remove the charge from their system from the powers that be. So, they told me to take it up with member services. Lots of help that was.

Oh good grief!!! Another instance of the right hand and left hand not communicating! This is getting to be more than just annoying with DVC!

 

[Lexxiefern]

Oh great! I was looking forward to having free internet next week. I hope none of you has to pay.

ITA!

Just curious, at which resort were they already getting it free? Although, come to think of it, my theory was going to be that maybe "mixed use" resorts (BWV, WLV, BCV) don't know, but DVC-only resorts do. But that would mean SSR would know. Oh, well-it doesn't make sense!

No Free Internet!!!

Called SSR front desk and Member Services.

MS said "not til spring"

I know someone reported that they have been getting it free since the 26TH, but we got the payment screen at SSR and so did my friends at BCV.

We dont check out until the 6th.

I may be the free guy. At BCV, we ended up being billed for some days and not for others. Sometimes we would get the usual sign on screen and at other times no screen.

Sometime in the spring? Huh? Was anyone else at the Annual Meeting of DVC when Jim Lewis sat there and very clearly said that in 2008, DVC members would receive free internet? I certainly hope he wasn't mumbling under his breath "But notice I'm not saying WHEN in 2008." I think everyone there was under the impression that it was meant to begin on January 1, 2008. If not, Jim Lewis-you've got lots of "'splainin'" to do to the members.

I was there, and when he said 2008 without giving an exact date, I took it to mean 'sometime in 2008', not 'January 1, 2008 at 12.01 am'.

 

[sjdisneywedding]

ahh come on now, DVC

its pretty simple to make the switch

what are ya squeezing the last few pennies out of it, waiting until enough people complain.

nothing like taking a good thing and turning it into making guests upset

 

[MLK-RI]

We are at AKV now and the front desk confirmed with MS that free internet would NOT start until spring. No official date in "spring".

Oh, OK. I probably shouldn't assume (we all know what happens when you assume!) what 600 people were thinking. Then I shouldn't be so upset if other people figured it this way.
Maybe "hope" turned into "assume" for me.
