When looking at internet providers here in the Villages, in most cases for us Villagers, cost seems to be the biggest driver when selecting a provider since very few are running a business or working from home.
This is not an advertisement but an awareness post. What's interesting is the cable companies are not providing their new advanced technology here in the Villages. While Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile Are providing new wireless services and now Quantum Fiber is offering their newest technologies "Lumen is using XGS-PON technology, a passive optical network to provide the symmetric multi-gig capabilities." You can read about it here.
Attention Required! | Cloudflare Areas around Dunedin and north to Bonita Villas and other areas have this new fiber technology. Area's south down to Osceola Hills are scheduled to get this new technology in 2025.
Although us Villagers don't need these high speeds now, it will be interesting to see what the future holds, there are businesses here in the Villages that do. It's also "good to know" that the wireless carriers, and Quantum and Centric fiber companies are still investing in the internet infrastructure here in the Villages, whether we need it or not. While the cable companies are doing nothing except trying to bundle services with stuff we don't want and are trying to become a Phone company.
Interesting. I think we are very lucky to have these wireless and fiber serivices available for most of us here in the Villages.
