There is a lot of competition in The Villages. If you are unhappy, switch to someone else. For example, we have 5 choices for TV if you are south of 466a, 4 if you are above 466a.

CenturyLink
Comcast
Spectrum (aka Brighthouse, below 466a)
Dish
DirectTV


You can also get your TV free via an Over-the Air antenna.

You have 3 choices for internet:

CenturyLink
Comcast
Spectrum (again, below 466a)

plus you can also go cellular (although not recommended).


For cellphone, you have the usual suspects:

Verizon
AT&T
TMobile
+ a host of smaller outfits
