Because they want to attract campers but don't want to spend the big money it takes for a good system.
DING,,We have a winner.....
I have two campgrounds I visit where I have had chats with the staff.
The one I'm in now.. He has a wide coverage antenna that would greatly improve coverage where I am (But then I have a long range antenna so I'm at 40 percent saturation on the limiters (A very very good signal) as a r****.. the antenna is 20 feet up a flagpole though,, and directional).
He said he does not have enough bandwidth to hook up the good antenna.
The other one has a park wide network of repeaters, but turned it off cause they use Verizon 2-way satellite... I have suggested a couple companies they should check out (Excide would work well for them).
A third park I frequent has "Park wide Wi-fi" only it only covers about 3/4 the park.. and in the summer it's dang near useless TOO MANY CLIENTS.. in the late fall when I was last there.. Lightening would not move that fast if greased,, It was FLYING, No problems streaming multiple videos if I wished..
But it is a fact that they want to be able to say "Free Wi-FI" or at least "Wi-FI" but they don't want to pay the bucks needed for enough bandwidth.
Oh, I have streamed video here too, Even though he says "Not enough bandwidth"
The room next to the router closes at 8pm.
I stream one hour a week, starting at NINE pm.
