T-Mobile has a $15 plan for seniors 55+, but it is PRE-PAID; and a rep said a cell tower is within 5 miles of Lake Sumter Landing. I've never seen TMobile advertise that rate after I signed up for it years ago so you have to request it. It has data, but I've never exceeded it because I generally only use the phone for calling and texting.

Regarding internet service, Xfinity has a plan for under $30 with 200mbps which is adequate for me in a single-person household using wifi only to get online, stream TV (YouTubeTV) and for security cameras. Xfinity advised that 200mbps speed will make TV streaming sporadic, but that has not been the case for me; however, there could be a huge difference in connectivity for a two-person household and the number of devices connected. Neither service required a contract.
