Xfinity bill tops $300.00 a month
I have Xfiniity's triple play package that includes internet, landline phone for telemarketing calls, and TV. Against my better judgement I agreed to auto pay giving them access to my credit card. They have exercised liberally including a $50 increase this billing cycle. My question for forum has anyone signed on with Verizon internet thru their 5G network that supposably available in Villages. Thank you in advance.

"Triple Play" isn't really a package anymore, now you customize. I just checked using a house in the neighborhood that doesn't have anyone living in it, for the current promotions (you won't get to see those promos on your own account). I can get 600mbps, 185+ channels, and the phone for $153.95 not including equipment, fees and taxes. You need to be vigilant with Xfinity. Set your calendar to remind you a month before this year's contract expires, so you can call them and go through the negotiation process again. |

You can also look into T-Mobile's 5G internet offering.
I don't believe T-Mobile has a cable TV offering but there are several threads discussing streaming options.

If you use your own address, they know that you are a customer and won't show you the current promotions for new customers. But, if you use a nearby address, you can see all current offers.

We pay over $300 up north but have cable to 6 TV’s. In Florida it is about $170 with 3 TV’s. We have phone up north. A lot of money but I like my shows and don’t want to stream. The last time I tried to lower the plan they would only add all the pay channels and keep the cost the same.

My xfinity kept going up and up, even after I negotiated a lower price. I dumped them and never looked back. I went to Centrylink for Internet, guaranteed price for life, no increases. I now stream via Roku and get more variety and much more entertainment than ever before and a great picture. All this for less than half what I was paying at Xfinity.

The only way you can see them is to enter an address of a property that doesn't currently have xfinity. Any house that's unoccupied, would likely qualify. So I use a house that I know recently sold and hasn't had anyone move in yet. It's a vacant property, without any internet or TV access. |

Regardless - WiFi only and streaming YouTube TV with a Roku is a great option. That's what we did. My computer, laptop, printer, tablet, the TV in the living room and the TV in hubby's "man-cave" (workshop) all feed off the wifi signal. We also have both our cell phones set to wifi when we're home since we're on a shared data plan for our cell phone service. He can watch golf on TV while I'm watching a movie on my computer. My hearing aids are blue-toothed to a streaming device on the computer so I can go speakerless and have full stereo surround sound in my head while watching the movie. We haven't gone the "smart home" route - probably won't, but other than that we're totally hooked up to the internet. With no cable. |

Most VOIP modems have battery backup for power outages though they would not last as long as traditional landline service (if that even exists any more)
