No doubt Maxi. I stated right in the beginning that I don't have a clue what a typical CG spends on TengoInternet per month. Not their Wifi access points, just for the Tengointernet service. You might think that westernrvparkowner might chime in and give us some clue of what his costs are for whatever pipeline he has, but he instead simply poopoo's every idea as unrealistic or too expensive.
Maybe TengoInternet is free to CG's? I doubt it, but again, I don't know. What I do know is that were available, fiber broadband is ~$400/mo at the fastest available speed. IMO, $400/mo for a CG that has 400-500 sites, sounds reasonable. Consider on top of that, the fact that their wifi access point setup is already in place and top-of-the-line. You can claim I'm wrong, but without knowing the numbers of the current offering, your claims are only opinions, just as mine are. At least I have some hard information to back up my numbers..........
I don't use Tengo and don't know their pricing structure, but they used to offer the setup infrastructure for free in exchange for setting up pay for usage which Tengo gets a big cut of, or they had plans for providing the park infrastructure for a monthly fee paid by the park. They do not provide any backhaul, they just connect to what is available. Costs to my parks vary, since there are different carriers. But my backhaul runs several hundred a month for 12 mbs down and 3 mbs up. All the access points, antennas and support is on me. Like I said earlier, that works fine for 99% of my customers. I wouldn't spend significantly more money for a faster system since it wouldn't add to my customer satisfaction or my bottom line. It is better for me and my bottom line if the ultra high bandwidth user goes elsewhere. And yes, all my reservation employees are trained to turn away people who let us know upfront that high speed, big bandwidth internet is necessary. We simply tell them our parks will not be able to meet their wifi needs.
