Anybody doing this currently? And, is the 10Mbs CenturyLink internet connection good enough for video streaming? (BrightHouse internet isn't available in my area, and Comcast internet wants to add a lot of junk). Since I'm paying for ATT U-Verse service up north (expensive, but far superior to anything available in The Villages), I would really like to "placeshift" it down here. Any comments or suggestions?
My CenturyLink Internet connection is only 6Mbs here in Marion County, Village of Chatham. I have seen CenturyLink around working on new wiring in our area, but as of a few minutes ago, I'm only getting:

The Villages Florida

Even with 6Mbs I have no trouble with Netflix
