Let me help SAVE everyone who reads this post some BIG $ on cable & Internet.
I’m a teacher and live in RI but have 3 rental homes in The Villages. A tip here on TOTV led me to save big $. All as of last month now have Direct TV. See below.
1. Call Select Choice TV in Summerfield (third party broker for all providers) at
352-553-4921. I kept their ad from a Villages magazine in April and got Heba, (she has been great) but anyone can help. Her e-mail:
hrobinson@selectchoicetv.com Get DIRECT TV. Free installation. It took less than 2 hours to get done. $24.99/mo for a year for the basic SELECT package (that’s 130 channels & free movie channels for 3 mo). I added HD (high def) at my 3br because I’ll be moving there in a year or so. That’s $10/mo more. Each additional TV is $6/mo.
2. For INTERNET go with Comcast for $19.99/mo. Call 1-800-COMCAST. I was already a subscriber for cable and Internet. Their $19.99 rate is good for a year, and they gave me that rate no problem to keep me (normally just for new folks). It appears to be the cheapest of all providers. I have my own modem and Wifi device at all homes (they’re cheap at Wal-Mart; don’t rent).
3. PHONE is up to you. I have rentals and so don’t have phones. But I did buy MagicJack on Heba’s recommendation so I have a phone now at my 3br. The device costs $50 one time fee and it’s $20/yr for service. Note, that’s PER YEAR, not per month like the local phone companies. But for older folks, it takes being a bit computer savvy to get it all done. Other options are to ask your provider for a special low introductory rate. magicjack.com
4. No, I’m not a salesman, but if you switch and say I referred you,
[COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]you get $10 off per month for 10 months[/COLOR]. I used a lady’s account number from TOTV to get that. You too can have a bill for just $18.00 with taxes like I do at my villa (one TV, no HD).
Use acct # 14118982 to get $10/mo off when you call Select Choice TV.
E-mail me with any questions. I’m glad I switched. Picture is beautiful (even on non-HD TVs at my 2br homes). Enjoy the savings.
