I'm sure we've all experienced lousy WiFi at most campgrounds we visit. And it's pretty rare to be able to stream any video. I just wanted to pass along some data that might explain why it's so hard for campgrounds to provide good WiFi service.
The cost of a new, high performance installation is astronomical.
The park we go to in Colorado is looking at a new installation to serve 371 sites. On a 4 year basis it's about $60,000 per year. Every year. The cost probably never goes down. And the initial cash outlay is around $87,000.
It's a pretty high bar to jump over.
