I think that deciding not to buy here based on the lack of internet in the villa is excessive. However, I do think that the TV sales department should move on up into the 21st century and provide internet service for a LSV. Redwitch makes good points about it being difficult to use your smart phone as internet, especially if you're trying to view homes online. Air cards and hot spots cost extra $. Turning on your hot spot alone can cost $20-$40, at least with Sprint. Air cards are even more. Can't tell you how many times I hop on the internet when a question comes up. Not having it at hand is just more than an inconvenience anymore.

We may be retired, but we haven't left technology behind.
