Right now we have internet only in the Villages, the second-to-lowest option for MPS at $50/month. Once we're there full time we'll decide if we want to add TV, or keep the cord cut and use some kind of streaming stick/service.
In the north we've used Comcast for TV service for a couple of decades now. We originally had the local phone company's internet service, but then Frontier bought that service, and they totally, utterly, and completely ruined it for us. They had to drill a hole into the outside wall of our house to get a cable put in, and they still couldn't get it right. So we added on internet and home phone (non-mobile) to our Comcast in a triple-play bundle and things work a WHOLE lot better now.
Problem is, it's stupidly expensive, and we don't need most of the stuff we get for it. But if we downgrade on any of the three things that comes with the plan, we end up paying even more, because it becomes a la carte and not bundled.
Customer service is horrible but thankfully we rarely ever have problems. Comcast/Xfinity is consistently good with keeping things up and running. That's what we're paying the premium for. If we didn't care about that, we'd go with one of the cheaper options.
