I am not sure if you are talking about CenturyLink capabilities in The Villages or elsewhere. I live on the southside and have Century Link via fiber optic. I have 10 Mbps download but could have 40 Mbps download for additional cost. The service is not symmetric - the upload is less than 1 Mbps. As far as I can tell, they are not offering 1 Gbps in The Villages. I know they are rolling it out in some selected cities. Regarding 100 Gbps, yes we will see that in the future but it isn't clear to me when that would be or under what conditions it would be required or cost justified for home use. For example, you can stream 2160p video with 25 Mbps. Paying for bandwidth you don't need is a waste of money.

The same thing would happen if your coax connection got cut for any reason, I've heard of comcast customers waiting over 3 months to get a line buried.
And as for internet speed, centurylink blows comcast completely out of the water. Comcast max speed is 105Mbps but you'll be lucky to get 50 of that. Centurylink has symmetrical (that means both upload and download) of 1000Mbps but can easily support up to 100,000Mbps with node and server upgrades.
And who reported who to the police? You do realize that where that cable is ran is what's called a "utility easement", and thus not your neighbors property even if it happens to be in their backyard.
I'm sorry that you were misinformed.
