Not so, we have to wait 7 to 10 days for the local office to input our address into the system, then we can call back and get an appointment for hookup. We have a space shuttle orbiting the earth right now but it takes comcast 7/10 days to input an address. I hate media monopolies. They can not even tell me how many channels we will getting. Still searching for the answer on telephone service. Do any of you just use a cell phone and what about having 911 with only a cell?

quil - try contacting 'Clearlink' Comunications.. they are a 'Villages' installation service down on 1100 Main st (352 751 3547) .... they contacted me as soon as I closed but I had decided to go Directv.. they sounded like they could have installed my cable, etc 'real soon'... they may have an issue with digital phone though which if I read your note looks like your interested in.
