A New Campground WiFi Record
>200 Mbps download speed . . . yesterday afternoon it was only hovering around 100 Mbps. Anyone else seeing speeds like these?

Yes, he is referring to wifi speeds. However I still do not understand the requirement for such speeds.
Of course there is no requirement for 200Mbps, but many RVers have a need for speeds higher than 5Mbps. Lots of RVers are fulltimers that work on the road in an environment that requires exceptional bandwidth to perform their work duties.
Others want to stream in full HD (or even 4K), and often there are two devices streaming at the same time.
Some, have no available internet or OTA television reception at home and depend on cellular for all communication with the world. That's often the case while traveling too.
So for "week-end warriors" that are "camping" and use the internet only to check email, browse a little, and maybe stream Netflix in SD once and a while . . . there is no need for high bandwidth.
For others, the need is real. ;)
