My hope is that the vendor will complete the wiring in the Leviton box so we will have a working LAN.

The wife is a TV 'junkie', and I'm an 'internet' junkie.

My question which vendor or combination of vendors will give the most advanced services. While price is a concern, it is not a limiting factor. Speed, TV channels, TV picture quality, and DVR functionality come first.
We are leaving a FIOS home and have become somewhat "spoiled".

Any and all suggestions are welcomed and any contacts with the local PC club that has information on hard wired LANs would be appreciated.

We are looking forward to joining the fun in the Villages.

BTW, I also posted this question in the Computer Forum, sorry for the double post.
I signed up wih Brighthouse and got great service. The tech had to run cable from the pedestal on the lot line to the box, right next to the Comcast cable. He also wired all outlets, set up the wireless modem and verified that it worked and set the password that I wanted. I can change it later. The install was free and the first month of internet and cable is almost free (gave us $98 discount).
