Poor Wi FI at most RV parks

1 gigabit of Internet is around $500/month here for a business class connection, with the caveat you can't resell the bandwidth (so you'd have to have advertise it as "free" wifi)

Properly managed by a decent router and firewall a connection of that speed could easily support hundreds of campers and even allow basic non-HD streaming (Netflix low-q needs less than 1mbit)

Problem I see, that price is under a multi-year contract - what happens when winter gets here and the park is closed for the next 4-5 months? Similar situation for the southernly afflicted, 2-3 months of super hot weather scare off all the business.

Must be nice. The fastest connections I have available to my parks are 20 MBS. And those come with the caveat "optimum, you speeds may vary". Then you have the problem of upload speeds which are 20% or so of the download speed. RV parks are somewhat unique in that a lot of us have people who upload vast amounts of data. We have people trying to upload HD vacation video they shot all the time. That will stop an entire wifi network in it's tracks. Speed limitations just cause the data to stack, since most of the high bandwidth usage is set and forget. The people just log on, start their upload or download and then go cook burgers. Since I am not going to dig up all my sites and load them on flatbed trailers and haul them to the Silicon Valley, those gigabit wifi connections aren't happening anytime soon. RV park wifi outside of major metro areas will most likely always suck.
And always remember that device manufacturers have significantly increased the battery life of their devices by de-powering the transmitters in those devices. That means they are much more likely to see our wifi signal and then be unable to communicate with that access point. "Can you hear me now" is still very much in play, often with the access point saying "no".

One more thing, I have seen several commercial plans that say you cannot "redistribute" the bandwidth and they actually explain that if you have an open wifi connection (allowing non-employees to connect) you will be in violation of that policy. It was not a matter of money and reselling. Free or for a fee it was not allowed.
