I am not sure what you mean by “static”. If you are referring to a static IP address, I doubt there is anyone in The Villages who has a static IP address via CenturyLink. You can probably get one through a business account.

Everybody I talk to that has the CenturyLink at $49 a month seems pretty thrilled for a static installation.

I have a Mesh system up north as well with NEST all over the place. I am considering a static CenturyLink connection here as well with NEST everywhere.

I wouldn't bother running CAT6 here - you're talking busting into the wall and running cable everywhere. My work in your northern home - just depends on how easy it is to get into the walls from above or below. I used to to alarm systems a long time ago that were all wired - what a pain!

Let us know how it all works out and what you choose!
