As a travel nurse and full time RVer, the cable modem won't work.. because usually you get the cable service that is provided to the park, which is usually analog and not digital, which is required for service. Most full time RVers, instead of relying on park cable ALL the time, use satellite for television service. In which, you get get satellite internet.... which is what I have.
Yes, there are some parks that include phone, and you can choose a nation wide service.
Another, option is laptop with cell phone. Through a USB cable, I connect my cell phone to my computer and can surf the web. I use this system for a backup when I can't get the satellite to work, or when there is cloud cover.
The best deal is to look for the RV parks that have WiFi services... alot are free, bu some have paid services.
Hope this helps.
