Establishing an Internet Provider

[MrLonzo]

As a new home buyer in the Villages, I’m sure most others go through what is now facing me – that is hiring an internet provider. When I ask where to start on this task, which is onerous at best for a non-techie, I’m told to start calling around, or talk to your neighbors. It would be so helpful if there were a website we could go to, enter the village or neighborhood, and get a list of internet providers for that area, along with product type (fiber optic, DSL, cable, etc.) as a starting point. Internet speeds, basic costs, and new subscriber deals? Please!! I’m dreaming of this web site! And a Yelp-like review page by users for the services they provide would be helpful. Anyone know of such a resource? Despite reviewing the dozens of related threads on this Forum, I’m still not sure where to start in getting internet service when I move in next month, or why the same questions need to be asked by nearly every new homeowner.

You said you are a new home buyer, I presume that is a newly built home, not just new to you as in a resale. If so, you would be south of 44 so your choices are cable from Comcast/Xfinity or fiber optic by Quantum ( it think). Spectrum may be in some areas, too. Some people are also using T-Moble Home Internet which is based on 5G cell phone service but the quality of service is very location dependent.

As far as I know, there are no public maps which show the coverage in each area.

Xfinity usually has a great promo for new customers. Got 25 a month for first year with free installation. Buy your own equipment. 100 dollars gets a cable modem and Wi-Fi router

IMHO, the choice is simple. If you are just looking for an internet ISP, pick fiber if you can. This could be Quantum Fiber or Centric. Best pricing, best speeds. Quantum is now 500mbps, up and down, with 4 wireless pods for $50.

We have xFinity (Comcast) and couldn't be happier. Lightning-fast internet, three TVs all on the system (one with something called "xFi Complete" which is a little box for a non-smart TV costing $24 a month but which I'm going to discontinue as an Amazon Firestick does just as well with only one upfront payment). Two iPhones each with unlimited data usage. We don't subscribe to any TV packages; Prime, YouTube and the various other channels xFinity offers are more than sufficient Totals per month:

Internet: $105.00
xFi Complete $24
Amazon Prime $14.00 (I think--haven't checked in awhile)
Two iPhones: $60

Customer service is OK. Haven't had to use it much. Service calls are $100 but if you go to their store on 441 the guys there will give advice on what you can do so that a service call is unneeded. For example this spring after the first lightning storm our internet was going down 5-6 times a day. I went to their store and was told that 90% of the time that just meant an outdated modem, and I could get a shiny new one from their store just by swapping in the old one. No cost.

Overall, very satisfied.

[Bill14564]

There may be ads in the newspaper.

It is likely that you will get ads in the mail.

A google search for providers in my area will give you leads.

Go to the companies' websites to see what is available.

Call the companies and ask.

It would be nice if there was a website that contained all the information but I can understand why there isn't. It would not take long before anything posted on the website becomes outdated. Maintaining the website would be a pain and if it wasn't maintained it would be inaccurate.

Sorry, by 'new home buyer', I meant I just bought a house in TV for the first time, moving from out of state. I'm asking a more general question: how new residents get information on internet providers, whether it's a new house or a resale.

[retiredguy123]

My recommendation is to sign up with Xfinity Internet service for a year, at least 100 mbps. If you don't like it, you can switch.

I hate this response, it screams, are you not bright enough to look it up yourself? New and seasoned residents use this site, for person information, not information on the net, that has zero personal experience.

That said OP, is probably using their phone WiFi, which may or may not be expensive.

OP we had Comcast since 2010, at 4 different houses, rate rarely changed, and very few outages.

The new house, we choose Spectrum, $25 install fee, free modem, just using Wifi to stream whatever we need. It also depends on where you live, some companies aren’t available. Also check with your mobile service, you might be able to piggyback with them for savings

I am so confused. From the original post

"it would be so helpful if there were a website we could go to, enter the village or neighborhood, and get a list of internet providers for that area, along with product type (fiber optic, DSL, cable, etc.) as a starting point. Internet speeds, basic costs, and new subscriber deals? Please!! I’m dreaming of this web site! And a Yelp-like review page by users for the services they provide would be helpful."

The person did not ask for personal opinions and experience. So they were provided a list of close to 10 (with the mention that google is your friend to find such things, which would be good info for someone who admits to not being tech savy.) I went to the first site, I entered my zip code, I got a list of service providers, types, and user reviews. That is EXACTLY what the OP asked for. Were we to assume he didn't really want what he was asking for, he wanted what you provided him instead???

I thought I had specifically answered, the exact question that was asked.

[Dusty_Star]

Mr Lonzo, where in the Villages are you? Not specifically, but south of 44, north of 44 & south of 466A, north of 466A, & so on. That answer will help us help you.

Choose fiber optic if you can get it. Why? Cost, speed, reliability.

North of 44 & south of 466A you can probably get Quantum fiber. $50 a month for more speed than you need to stream, browse, upload, talk, etc.

[coralway]

Not trying to be a snark aleck or anything, but this is a service you should have confirmed BEFORE moving

where to start in getting internet service when I move in next month, or why the same questions need to be asked by nearly every new homeowner.

Perhaps in the rush to be a "snark aleck", you didn't read the original post?

[frayedends]

As an FYI, Lake Denham area has Centric Fiber pre-installed in the home and ready to go. I signed up and it will be on the day I move in. I'm guessing most of the new areas have that also. Price was better than I get for XFinity in Massachusetts.

[MrLonzo]

So sorry for any confusion. I didn’t want to make it too lengthy. Here are some more details if my original question was unclear.

I bought my house in June at TV which currently has no internet access, and I’ll be moving in this October and would like to have internet available when I get there. I’m not at the Villages now, so it’s hard to get flyers, stop by service providers offices, or talk to neighbors. I did check some of the links provided earlier in this thread, but it’s time consuming and not always accurate via zip code – providers need exact address in many cases.

I originally posted here in hopes of finding a resource that can provide turnkey information regarding internet providers at the Villages to avoid the time consuming research everyone is recommending. If you multiply those hours of information gathering research by the thousands of new residents at TV who have the same questions, it seems ridiculously redundant and a waste of so much time – I figured for sure there would be some service that provides the answers to the questions everyone moving to the Villages might have regarding establishing an internet service. That may mean going to one web site, not 7! Or maybe hiring an objective ‘expert’ in TV internet services to get started. Or pointing to one of the CDD departments well-versed in such issues. All of these seem non-existent, and presents a great opportunity for any internet tech-savvy entrepreneur to fill an unmet need. It seems now 'throwing a dart', trying a subscription, then changing after a year if not satisfied is the standard method, unless you have plenty of extra time on your hands.

BTW, I do have internet access in my current home in California now, which explains why I can post on this Forum (but may not in a few weeks).

Considering there's really only 2 or 3 Internet providers for any given address in TV, most folks aren't so intimidated by the process.

I feel your pain, though. Every time I go to buy a new Razor, I get confused. 4 blades? 3 blades? 5 Blades? There should be consultants out there, that can help me decided exactly which one to buy. I certainly don't want to waste my time, reading reviews or buying one and finding out I don't get a close enough shave and have to switch to another model.

It seems you want the one answer when there are at least three (Xfinity, fiber, 5G). Of course you want the answer for your needs but you don't explain what your needs are (surfing, streaming, data processing). And you want the correct answer for your area but you don't provide the area you will be in.

You've already been told to get fiber. The fiber providers serve different areas so you really need to give that detail.

5G by T-Mobile or Verizon is available in most areas though its performance is highly dependent on the exact address. This is something you would test for a month with the understanding that you may need to switch to something else.

I would recommend Xfinity, internet only, at their 50Mbs tier (or whatever it is now, 75Mbps or 100Mbps). This has been reliable for me, the speed is adequate for most users, and the cost is under $100. This would get you up and running with little effort, allowing you to move in and get settled.

When I was looking I found fiber, DSL, 5G, and Xfinity. The previous owner had used fiber, I chose Xfinity. I called to make the appointment from my home in Maryland and scheduled it for a time when I was planning to be in Florida.

Set up service before you move or go to a coffee house to search services when you arrive. Stopping by the Xfinity, Spectrum store helps. We got a list of providers in the area from the realtor. Neighbors helped most.

[Mulliganguy]

Quantum Fiber is great. I pay $50/mo for 500 mbps

[jrref]

We have xFinity (Comcast) and couldn't be happier. Lightning-fast internet, three TVs all on the system (one with something called "xFi Complete" which is a little box for a non-smart TV costing $24 a month but which I'm going to discontinue as an Amazon Firestick does just as well with only one upfront payment). Two iPhones each with unlimited data usage. We don't subscribe to any TV packages; Prime, YouTube and the various other channels xFinity offers are more than sufficient Totals per month:

Internet: $105.00
xFi Complete $24
Amazon Prime $14.00 (I think--haven't checked in awhile)
Two iPhones: $60

Customer service is OK. Haven't had to use it much. Service calls are $100 but if you go to their store on 441 the guys there will give advice on what you can do so that a service call is unneeded. For example this spring after the first lightning storm our internet was going down 5-6 times a day. I went to their store and was told that 90% of the time that just meant an outdated modem, and I could get a shiny new one from their store just by swapping in the old one. No cost.

Overall, very satisfied.

Internet for $105 is outragous! The fastest 1GB bi-directional speed which is all that you will ever need is $75/month with Quantum with the router and free mesh network and i believe Centric is about the same. Forget about these cable companies who offer a "deal" because the deal will end, you will forget and they will gouge you for a while until you realize and you will be back at square 1. The fiber companies just sell internet so they don't have the same pressures of increasing costs for content so the prices remain stable, no contract, no tax.

as a techie, here's how to begin. and I'll give you info that not all these may cover your specific street/house number that's how it works. I will recommend quantum fiber, and even though you probably don't require fiber, you're actually better off due to interference concerns. (too long to explain). They have inexpensive internet packages.

Top 5 Internet Providers in The Villages, FL | HighSpeedInternet.com (https://www.highspeedinternet.com/fl/the-villages)

[Pinball wizard]

I don't think I have fiber optics. But my question is how would a new Villages resident know the information you're providing without having to post questions on this forum?

Great question. I've been in the tech industry (HP) for 36 years and I keep track of what's going on. Others would have to do as you did, ask around. Alternatively, try to Google "ISP near me" and check out whoever comes up. Once you do that, you will start to get ads for ISP.

Within a week or so, you should be able to make an informed decision.

BTW: Asking around is good! This forum 'should' be a large group of helpful friends.

[Pinball wizard]

Does that really simplify things? If someone doesn't have internet yet, how can they use Google to find out about internet providers?

What about using your smartphone or ask a friend for help.

[rsmurano]

If you are in the newer Newell area, get centric fiber. Period! Always go fiber if you have a choice, it is so much better than any copper provider like spectrum/xfinity, with more robust networking speeds up and down, better QOS, at cheaper rates.

Also remember an ISP is just the start in creating a reliable network. Building out your internal network is just as important and I think much more important the the ISP network. Most people will put the providers router in a room in your house and think you will have good Wi-Fi coverage throughout the home which is not true. You need to create a robust internal network, which the Geek Squad nor any ISP can provide. Find a knowledgeable network person for help. For example, I have many mesh routers that provide excellent coverage throughout my home at very high speeds.

[Lisanp@aol.com]

You do get a list of all of the providers (gas, electric, internet, etc) and their contact information for your “area” in your closing documents. Call your realtor and ask for the list now. It will tell you who the possible internet providers are for your new neighborhood. I would think in new area they are all fiber.

[PGApromike]

New homes already have fiber and router installed in new homes. You can try it free when you first move in. You are given a temporary id, password.
Speed is 100gig and it costs $65/mo. That's all. If you stream TV and favorite shows that's your entire bill. Customer service was great when I had a question after moving in. If you don't consider them you likely will pay too much for less.

Centric advertises speeds only *up to* 10Gbps (not 100Gbps) and those require their advanced router.

I tried to find their advertised price but I could not find an address that worked. Either the website is broken or they have a fairly limited area.

Go to their office on 466a next to the ups store. I went in there a few months ago and talked to them about their service. It sounds like their tv bundle could be a hit too

We have used Xfinity cable before and are currently using their new internet streaming box and using only wifi for streaming. We have been happy with them. We tried T-Mobile Internet but were disappointed with them. My friend lives near 466 and has had good service with T-Mobile Internet. We use YouTube TV app for streaming. They have more channels than Hulu and are live.

[jebartle]

ATT has a new WiFi box you plug into wall, you must already have phone service thru ATT, the good news, this service costs $35, compared to xfinity which is $80, friend says signal is strong, no burying cable. New service and limited, testing.

[asianthree]

Thank you.

I thought I had specifically answered, the exact question that was asked.

Because in some areas you may google that WiFi service, In our zip code, 6 providers show up. 2 services buffers are ongoing, according to 13 posts, 1 showed in our service area, but wasn’t when you called them for a quote, as others have posted.

That 3 out of 6, of the 3, I choose the one that many are using and give personal experience, excluding those that post, they have billing issues, connect issues, and escalating costs every year. So google may tell you what is in your zip, it does tell you if it’s reliable

[Brighthouse]

New customer in a lot of cases can get 300Mbps for 19.99/month for the 1st 2 years. No contracts. Spectrum is available only south of CR 466A. I dealt with Lysander Jimenez he is one of the local sales reps with Spectrum. His number is 352-239-3538. He comes to your home and sits with you and goes over all the offers and specials. I could not find any other provider for any cheaper. I got tired of Xfinity's ridiculous rates.

That wasn't what the poster asked for.

If someone asks a question that I may have an answer to or easily find, I just answer the question. Some folks apparently would you prefer to editorialize or re-visit the question and change it to suit their needs.

I figure if someone asks a question, it's not my business if it's an incomplete question.

Brian,
If you think razors are tough, have you tried buying lightbulbs recently? Oh my!
Dusty


Don't go there!!!

I gave up on lightbulbs. When I need a light bulb, I get out the magnifying glass, get a "model #' or something off the bulb and order on Amazon.

Go to our local Lowe's or Home Depot and talk with one of their "Pros"? Shoot me now!!!
