Sometimes I think that the establishment of certain expectancies is pretty much what the local businesses will give you. Obviously, profit is always trumping all else and that is understandably so. What I dont get is that marinas have to be more expensive to maintain than campgrounds. Thay are usually just as remote and maintaining docks with water and electricity has got to be more expensive than maintaining dirt with water and electricity. From what I have seen in the past, most campgrounds have more campers than marinas have boats. Marinas charge by the slip and so smaller boats pay much less than larger boats. Covered slips are more expensive than uncovered slips. Boat slip rentals can be as low as $150/mo and as high as $450/month. Usually for $450/mo, you are getting a 45' covered slip. Most marinas I have been to have swimming pools and pretty much the same amenities as campgrounds. I just thought it was odd that the price of maintaining a decent internet service in a campground would be so high as to not provide it.
Obviously, we will have to go in a different direction such as Direct TV and keep our Verizon Jet Pack for internet service. We have done that before.
For Peter to say " you are exactly the type of internet user that the campgrounds try to keep off their network" makes us sound like abusers rather than someone surprised that campgrounds cant afford internet.
We lived on Galveston Bay on our boat. Some of these marinas have 600 to 900 boats. That's a lot of free internet. I just thought that campgrounds would have it also. My mistake.
