Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Why not cable internet at campgrounds?
Permalink  

Hello Dreamers,

Okay, DH & I were discussing (debating) about having cable internet connection at campgrounds that offer cable. I have seen one or two workcamper jobs that specifically offer cable internet. So...is this becoming more of an offering at campgrounds? Especially for workcamping? confuse

Just curious as to the experiences of others. I hope to have a virtual job, but it will require cable internet connections, when we go fulltiming. Please, this question is NOT about WiFi. yawn

Thanks all. smile

We have not found cable Internet connections anywhere along the east coast.

At many long term campgrounds you can contact the cable company and they will install cable internet, for a fee. There also might be a fee to stop service. The same with the phone company for DSL. Don't expect this to work out for stays under about 2 months.

Following up on Bill Joyce's comment, some cable companies may require a "long-term" commitment for cable internet.  It's been a long time since we had anything other than satellite for our television, but when we were on COX cable in Oklahoma City, we had to sign up for at least 1 or 2 years.  I would imagine that some may require the same for internet.

If you seek out RV Parks that cater to longer term residents, or even mobile home communities that have RV spaces - you may find cable is already run to them, And then you can just activate the service with the provider.

We did this earlier in the year when we were in Florida. Bright House (and many other FL providers) do not require any sort of contract, and are quite used to seasonal residents. They charged us just $20 to install & activate the service, and we had 'turbo' 30mpbs download speeds for about $70/month. It was well worth it.
