I am going to use my Droid cell phone for phone and internet, Recently while on a Design Team Visit I used my Droid as a wireless hotspot in a Creekside Villa.

It is only 3G nothing like Fios but it suprised me how well it performed. With my new phone and 4G coverage it will be fast enough. I can hook up 5 wireless computer devices

This will allow us internet in TV and anywhere in the country traveling. We will then use Direct TV for HD until Fios if ever gets into the Villages.

I believe many of us moving into TV who have had Road Runner turbo or better yet Fios are or will be in shock with the lousy internet service.

If your phone does not do hotspots then you can get their portable. It is another cell phone charge but bundled may be better that what you are paying now.
