I have had 100 Mbits/sec (nominal download) internet in a previous home outside of The Villages in the past and I now have 10 Mbits/sec in The Villages. I work from home (I do "computer stuff") and stream video via Roku boxes. It is really hard to see the difference between 100 Mbits/sec and 10 Mbits/sec. The 100 Mbits/sec was part of a "bundled plan" through the local phone company with an IP TV service (which I dropped after a year). I agree that the vast majority of people don't need the higher speed internet that Comcast offers. Along those lines, I wonder how many people are overpaying for cellular data plans where they use a small percentage of the "megabytes per month" that they are paying for. It is always worthwhile to analyze your needs before choosing a service.
