If you enjoy watching sports it can`t be beat . The Masters was featured on about 6 different channels which each covered a different hole . Almost as good as being there .
You can easily follow your favorite college teams , NFL , NHL , Baseball and NBA . It`s as if you were back in your home city watching not only your team but the home team broadcast .
I use Comcast for high speed Internet . I tried using Century Link for a while but gave up on them . I also dropped my landline and just use my cell . Good luck to you !
I agree with everything you said. I would add that when we dropped our land line, we hooked up with Magic Jack, the kind that hooks to your modem, not your computer, and enables you to use your old land line cordless phones. It works just like a land line and costs around $40 per year. There are other systems like Magic Jack that people like better, but we've had them for years with no problem.

If Brighthouse were available north of 466A, we would use them for internet instead of Comcast. We used them in Bradenton and were quite happy with their service.
