My Wifi Posts have been wrong!! I admit it.

There is a number of reasons for that.
1. Park employees have much more to do than monitor internet usage
2. The wifi services generally aren't managed from the front desk
3. Most guests would find such a system between "Creepy" (right up your alley, according to your screen name) and downright an invasion of their privacy. I can't imagine the bad reviews I would get if people believed we were monitoring their wifi. The average person would believe we were reading their emails, looking at their photos and stealing their banking information. If we used such a system (not saying we do or don't), it wouldn't be anywhere visible to the guests.

Yeah, but none of those reasons actually apply.

1. Yes, the last campground we pulled into, and many more, the desk person was watching TV or playing on their cellphone. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands to post.

2. A controller can be put anywhere if it's hardware, or more likely you'll just remote into the server and watch it from anywhere. Do you really think IT guys are at all the physical locations where they set up internet portals? If you do, then you're sadly mistaken. Many just use cloud based controllers/ monitors. Most are just emailed by the controller when part of the system goes down. If one of my access points goes down it emails me.

3. Most guests don't wouldn't even understand the system as do most campground owners judging by the quality of their internet. If they were really worried about their information being stolen then they wouldn't be using public wifi without a VPN, but most don't even know what a VPN is. You give them too much credit.

You're not monitoring what they are doing, just the amount of data. Just like cellular companies do. Even if it would visible nearly all wouldn't even know what they were looking at.

If you boot them you can just tell them the system boots those who use massive amounts of data. Only the abusers would call you complaining that they got booted.

There are tons of ways to explain it without insulting or alarming them, a skill you seem to lack based on your personal attack towards me. Creeper and Creepy aren't even close in definitions.

What's creepy is someone can be so thin skinned as to have what I posted offend them. And you think you can explain to people that you really aren't monitoring what they are doing if there is a screen in full view of the guests showing the internet is being monitored.
Of course I know that such a system does not have to be in an area accessible to guests, but your post was you have never seen a monitoring system in place. You therefore assumed that those parks do not have a monitoring and metering system. Can't have it both ways.
No, I don't work 24/7 but I bet I work circles around most people.

Definition #4 Oxford dictionary. creeper: a person, typically a man, whose behavior toward or interest in someone is regarded as unwelcome and socially inappropriate:

That sounds pretty creepy to me.
