So I took a look at Centurylink, DirectTV, and xfinity. With the criteria: MINIMUM 150mbps internet speed, TV lineup must include golf channel and all network stations, and voice phone service.

Turns out if I "cut the cord" and get DirectTV, then add internet and voice elsewhere (since DirectTV doesn't offer either of them), I'll be paying more than I would for the xfinity triple-play service in the Villages. Here in Connecticut this service is over $200 after fees and taxes. Down in the villages it'll be $139.99 plus fees and taxes, so likely around $165 after all is said and done. That's for TV, internet, and voice combined.
