Every conversation, you Assume it is RV park Wi-Fi
A person can be band width limited, on cellular data, because of fringe reception or heavy tower traffic, time of day etc..
More and more members here are using their own internet connection
The last time I used campground Wi-Fi was 3 years ago at the beach 20 miles from nowhere, because it was the only internet available
My phone did not have a connection there, and I did not stream any Netflix etc.. While there

As a practical matter, it will use up the same amount of data to download a show as it takes to stream it. If it is impractical to stream due to data limits, it probably won't help you.
