Streaming Video from RV Park Wi-Fi

I have to ask this after reading comments of RVParkReviews...how many RV'ers actually expect to get Streaming Video service from a Park's free Wi-Fi? Comments like, "I couldn't stream my NET Flix on the Wi-Fi" so I don't like the park or give the park a low rating.

I'm at a park now that actually address's this issue....their password to get on the Wi-Fi network in the park is, "NoNetFlix".....good thinking on their part.

I find it interesting the topic regarding AT&T/Direct TV is looking to do away with Sat based TV and go with streaming by 2020 and 5G speed's! I think I'll hold off on investing in a new Sat Dish and stay with my very old Datron system until this all gets sorted out. Who knows!!!

May I ask who is your provider?

I constantly check Wall Street ticker updates. I also watch ocassional full length movies thru my Amazon TV subscription. This is more demanding in terms of bandwidth compared to simple streaming videos.
All of these thru my unlimited data via hotspot. This system replaced my cumbersome satellite setup.

I'm surprised rv parks do not block Netflix. Blocking access would stop most people.

One park I like has excellent Wi-Fi. Email, weather reports, rv.net, all load nice and fast. They warn those streaming video will be shut off. Probably the reason they have excellent Wi-Fi.

Me too....E-mail is a blessing and maybe a little WEB surfing But Streaming Video.....just can't figure how some would expect this!

We were just in an RV park that had the same password. 🙂

My expectations are a lot lower. If I can check email, browse the web I'm pleased. Anything more than that is a bonus.
