I have Century Link and I pay $39/month + taxes/fees. I have 10 megabits/sec and I find that works out fine. I could pay more for a higher speed but don't see the need. I work from home and stream video from a Roku box and it works fine. You essentially need 3 megabits/sec with Netflix for HD. I have had 100 megabit/sec internet access in the past and really don't see much of a difference. You may be able to save money by going to a slower speed. My Century Link cost will go up in the spring (1 year "dea"l will be over) by $21/month. At that point I will call them up and try to convince them to give me the "deal" again for another year otherwise I will wind up with 40 megabits/sec at the new cost.

I called direct tv and they said currently no bundling was available in the villages. So what i am looking for is a seperate internet only providor for less than what i am paying now.
