Please don't be so defensive! Maybe park owners are not aware of the advances in high speed broadband services over the past few years. We were paying $1,500 each for two T-1 lines, just a couple of years ago. Today we pay $400 for a fiber connection that offers the bandwidth of 4-5 T-1's. Technology is changing at a rapid pace.
Hopefully, you've read DocJ's post above. He hit the nail right on the head. As high speed bandwidth becomes commonplace and more affordable, people's expectations change. Especially so for families with kids (even though I share those expectations at 56!). I can tell you this..... When we bring the grand-kids with us to the campground, they are clawing at the windows by day two and ready to get back home.
The world is changing.

How can it not be more expensive and yet when parks don't do it for whatever reason, it is because cheapskate owners don't want to spend money on their park?
I am not being defensive, I am just looking for an answer to my question. In one sentence you say it would not cost the park any additional money to install the fiber optic high speed access and in the next sentence you say parks aren't doing it because they don't want to spend any money on improving their parks. Both positions cannot be true. Do you really believe high speed access is available to the parks at no extra cost or are they not installing it because they don't want to spend the additional money. And if your grandkids are clawing at the windows to go back home after a day, why do you continue to bring them to the campground making both you and them miserable?
