If you mainly stream your TV and want the best and cheapest get 1GB Quantum Fiber Internet for $65/month for life. I believe they give you a free Wi-Fi router as well that will cover your whole house. No taxes, etc.. Almost every home built from 2015 on in the Villages already has the fiber connection at their home.

Most people these days have Netflix, PrimeTV, AppleTV and other streaming services. If you have a smartTV or a Ruku or an AppleTV device there are many free apps to get a lot of the channel content that you get with cable. If there are some specific channels you want that you can't stream for free you can always pay for add Hulu, YouTubeTV and other services that will give you most or all of the cable channels. At the end of the day, you can go traditional and get cable and fuss with the rate increases and the switching when they raise your price after a year or two or just stream everything with only an internet connection and you are done. You will probably find getting just internet and streaming everything will probably be cheaper and better than going with traditional cable and you won't have the traditional problems with set top boxes, raising rates and outages. These days streaming services like Hulu and YouTubeTV and others give you the "cable" experience cheaper and it's very easy to use. If you go to Get Blazing Fast Quantum Fiber Internet for your Home or Business they also have a section showing how to subscribe to these streaming services if you want to. I recently moved to the Villages and have Quantum Fiber and many of my neighbors have switched since they also now just stream TV and wanted a fixed low price.
