I signed up with the Villages.net when I ditched Comcast Cable internet and went with Sprint DSL (now Embarq) because I could no longer afford the cable internet. At that time it was $6. The way cable keeps going up, it stands to reason that they are not furnishing Villages.net for nothing. Contracts expire and maybe that is what has happened here. Don't know how it all works, but it could be that Villages.net now has to pay Comcast. Everything is not covered by the ammenity fee...else we couldn't afford the fee, either. My son lives in Jacksonville and pays $176 monthly fee and for that gets an outdoor pool, a party room, workout room, and maintenance for his postage stamp yard.....no golf courses, no rec centers, no golf cart privileges, etc. Seems we already get a lot for our money.
