I found this to be a bit of a problem, too, but surely not an insurmountable one. There is wifi available at Barnes & Noble right beside the preview villas, and it's available at Starbucks, TV Sales Office and other places right there.
What you really ought to consider is this: In our villa neighborhood like the one you stayed in, 100% of our 70 neighbor households are online, and from what I see with my own eyes every day, probably 70% of them have iPhones and iPads with which they have wireless internet access anywhere. You'd be surprised, I think, at how tech savvy TV residents really are. This ain't your father's "retirement" community.
It's not an excuse for TV not providing wifi, but the fact remains that a large percentage of people coming here to explore buying/moving here carry their wireless internet device with them.
By the way, it's quite likely that it's not that TV "cannot provide something as simple as internet", but that providing a nightly rate of $100 with no added hotel or other tourism taxes on a 3-bedroom 2-bath home that includes golf cart and bicycles has to be done cost effectively.
That rate is lower than one room at the Hampton Inn where you might have free wifi internet access, but you don't get a full sized, well-appointed, clean home from which you can walk or take a golf cart to see all the things that really matter in exploring a home purchase here.
