Your RV park’s internet could be shut off
—and you might not even know it’s coming.
If you own or operate an RV park or campground, this isn’t just another alert. This is a red flag.
Your park’s internet could be shut off—and you might not even see it coming.
I’m Barry Conley, President of RVParkTV (a division of Its All About Satellites), and I’ve spent decades helping RV parks deliver high‑quality TV, Wi-Fi, and broadband internet services to campers. Let me walk you through what’s happening behind the scenes in the telecom world right now—and what you can do so your park doesn’t get left in the dark.
Why I’m sounding the alarm
You might already know me as “the internet guy” for RV parks, but my core mission is much bigger than wiring sites and setting up routers. My mission is protecting your business, your reputation, and your campers’ expectations.
Over the last 12–18 months, I’ve watched a quiet but dramatic shift in RV park’s internet unfold—one that is now affecting parks across the U.S. Certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs)—Spectrum being the most prominent example—are tightening enforcement of their contracts and pulling the plug on customers who are redistributing service. In many cases, park owners didn’t even realize they were violating terms until they got a “Notice of Material Breach.”
Yes, your park might be next.
What’s actually going on
1. The “redistribution” clause is being enforced
If you’re using a “business class” internet connection from Spectrum or a similar provider, there’s a high chance your contract includes a clause forbidding resale or redistribution of internet access. In plain speak: you can’t legally share your office internet connection with your guests unless it’s explicitly allowed.
2. Notices of Material Breach are going out. Cutoffs are happening.
Parks around the country are already receiving “Notices of Material Breach” from ISPs, warning them their accounts are under review or about to be terminated. Those notices often accuse the park of redistributing service.
Some parks have had service shut off entirely. And no, just because you haven’t gotten a letter yet doesn’t mean you’re safe.
3. The back‑story: ISP networks are overwhelmed
Why now? Because usage patterns in parks have changed. Campers aren’t just checking email or browsing; they’re streaming video, gaming, working remotely, uploading photos and video of their stay in your park to social media, backing up photos to the cloud, and so on. KOA reports nearly half of campers say they work while camping. Campgrounds are now mini hubs of high‑bandwidth demand.
Here’s what you need to do—right now:
Here’s the four‑step playbook I recommend.
✅ Step 1: Review your contract. If you’re unsure, I’ll connect you with a top industry attorney who can help.
✅ Step 2: If Spectrum is your only possible provider, contact their Community Solutions department. They may delay termination while you find a solution.
✅ Step 3: If that fails, shut off guest Wi-Fi immediately (or isolate it). Use your business-class internet only for office operations.
✅ Step 4: If they are your only option, consider Spectrum’s bulk service. It may cost $25–35 per site per month, but a $1/day increase in camper fees is manageable—and better than no internet at all.
Now, let’s talk long-term.
The best move? Partner with a managed services provider like us.
These “approved bulk bandwidth” models are not a sustainable long-term answer for every park. But they’re a transition. What you *really* need is a trusted technology partner who understands telecom contracts and can build out a resilient, guest‑ready Wi-Fi network for specifically for you.
That’s where my team at RVParkTV steps in.
We have wholesale agreements with providers like Spectrum, AT&T, and others that allow redistribution. We specialize in delivering reliable, secure internet to your campers through managed Wi-Fi networks. We design and manage Wi-Fi networks that scale. Even if you’re already in a bulk agreement, we may be able to save you thousands annually.
What’s at stake—the risks if you don’t act
If you wait, you risk more than a technical outage. You risk:
– Revenue loss
– Reputation damage
– Regulatory or contractual penalties
– Operational headaches
– Legal liability
What success looks like
Picture your park in two years:
– Every site has guaranteed speed bandwidth
– No outages caused by ISP contract enforcement
– Campers post glowing comments: “Wi-Fi is blazing fast!”
– You’re free to monetize (amp up fees, upsell your RV park’s internet tiers)
– You sleep easier because you’re working with experts
And if you’re using Xfinity, AT&T, or another provider—don’t assume you’re safe. They are seeing Spectrum’s revenue grow, they’re already following suit. The writing’s on the wall.
This isn’t just about compliance. It’s about keeping your campers connected, your business running, your revenue streams optimized, and your reputation intact. We’re here to help. Reach out anytime: barry@itsallaboutsatellites.com or ted@itsallaboutsatellites.com
