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?
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.
Thanks all.

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.
