I have Verizon also and at our home in Lake Denham we didn't seem to have much issue. But I do recall some issues in certain areas, like even at the Dabney pool (IIRC, I'm only part time for now).
Anyhow, just for fun I checked T-Mobile 5 G coverage and they show our area has 5G ultra capacity coverage. If they have that coverage and are saying we can get internet, you may have much better luck with them. Not sure where their tower is, but I believe 5G needs closer towers than 4G. Here's a link you can check. I have no experience with them in the Villages so I'd seek others input also. I can say back in MA I had T-mobile 4g internet before cable was available (only 2 years ago) and it was very good.
