Thanks Sherry! 

High speed DSL Internet access is available in Paradise Valley from Windstream. This service requires the use of a land line. The rate in 2010 is $35.00 per month for 1.5 meg DSL service.  If you order ONLY DSL you will receive a phone number and will be able to make "800" calls and receive calls from others. Windstream regular telephone service starts at about $25.00 per month with out long distance.

The possibility exists for all of Paradise Valley Campground to be provided High Speed Internet access via cable modem, like the well known Road Runner service. To accomplish this major modifications would be required in the private cable system, taps, if any, removed and a T1 or multiple DSL lines brought to the head end building in the park. This is probably not financially feasible at this time. To further explore this possibility a detail survey of owners would be required to determine just how many owners would have an interest in this service and what they might be willing to pay monthly. 

Some in Paradise Valley use the Internet services offered by their cellular provider (air card).  Cellular providers do continue to increase the bandwidth capability of their services and cell phone capability improves, but our remote and thinly populated (by urban standards) service area is the last in the network to receive the latest of such capability. Our difficult terrain and distance hurts reception. The providers use of the 900mhz band(s) helps our distance reception. 

Satellite Internet is out of reach for most RVers. The necessary equipment is bulky and heavy, every aspect of the service is expensive, and a clear view of the southern sky is required..

I invite comments from owners sharing other solutions, bargains, or ways you have devised to gain access to the Internet.

If any Paradise Valley Campground owner would like to receive Email using this web site URL (address) I will be pleased to arrange a "name" that would provide a unique mailing address for that individual. Example: name@pvc4u.net . Normally Email like this would be forwarded to your mail client where you maintain your primary Internet account, like Juno, AOL, etc. Such an address would be FREE for Paradise Valley Campground owners. This might be of special interest if your name is John, for example, because every Email provider long ago had every variation of John you might imagine. Here there is none of that huge volume restriction and your mail address can be kept short, simple and easy to remember.
