I spoke to a CL agent today about billing and she told me that new DSL accounts are no longer being accepted in my area (around Southern Trace) due to aging infrastructure. She said availability might vary by address. The plan is to eventually upgrade the lines.
She was not familiar with The Villages but was just reporting what her account software told her, so who knows. But it's a bit worrisome because if true, the only option for new customers in the affected areas could be Comcast/Xfinity, and monopolies typically aren't good news for consumers.
On a positive note, my bill had been $77 and she readily switched me to the $49 for life plan when I asked for it.
