As a side note we are very disappointed with the quality of ATT's wireless call quality, especially inside our home.

Agree in every respect with Don's response. You will probably need to check with all three to see who has the best price since the specials they offer come and go. I have Centurylink with fiber to the house and have been very happy with it. I believe the service I have is rated at 12 mbps, but we are able to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime with zero dropouts or problems. When I had Comcast the peak data rates were at least 25 to 30 mbps, but after 9 at night, I had numerous dropouts when watching movies.

I would have gone with Brighthouse if they served my neighborhood, because 99% of their customers seem to be very satisfied. I've been happy in general with Centurylink, but dealing with their customer service is frustrating at times. Luckily, we haven't needed to deal with them in quite a while.

Also (agree with Don), hope you have good service with AT&T at your home. Many/most on the south end of The Villages don't. We had been with them for 10 years, but went with Verizon after moving here. If it's bad at your home, don't believe them if they tell you that it will be fixed soon. They've been telling their customers that for years.
