As long as you keep one Xfinity service, like internet, you don't need to wait until the contract expires. There is no penalty to downgrade your service.

I have been using T-mobile 5G Internet for the last 6 months with no problems. If you have their cell phone service internet is $40/mo. $50 without. Streaming U-tube TV, Prime, Netflix, Brit box, on a Roku device. I do have a smart TV but find the Roku remote easier to navigate so i got one for each TV.. Roku $29 one time fee.

Nobody needs a landline and I wouldn’t use any internet companies voip service because normally this costs over $20 a month. I have been using Ooma for 10 years and pay around $5 a month for taxes after buying the box for $100.
Check out all streaming services for which channels they carry to make sure they have what you want to watch. Right now, I have been using dish network for tv and have for over 20 years. I worked out a 2 year deal with them so their price is comparable to other streaming services and giving me much more tv content and technology.
As for streaming services, the get all the sports channels I want and the channels my wife watches, I would have to get multiple streaming services at a cost of more that what I’m paying dish. I use Apple TV’s for streaming tv and audio to every room in my house

My question for forum has anyone signed on with Verizon internet thru their 5G network that supposably available in Villages. Thank you in advance.

your description makes so sense - landline for telemarketing calls? If you have a cell phone, having that landline isn't going to do anything. In addition, it's not great security to have it which means a published number.

also never ever autopay anything, it's not worth it, if their data gets hacked into you lose.

as for Verizon, like everyone else whole it might provide the best service (as claimed by others) it really depends on where you are because then all your internet is on 5G aka just like your cell phone.

You'd be better off getting only internet, a fire stick, and leave it at that.

First, buy your own modem instead of renting theirs. Only buy their internet speed, at least 100 speed. Then get an Ooma, if you want local or long distance phone service besides your cell phone. Finally, purchase a Roku for streaming, and research cable TV streaming services like You Tube TV, Sling, Fubo. It's a lot cheaper and no contracts!

We switched from Xfinity Internet to Verizon 5G, about a month ago. So far so good. Less than half the $.

[MrFlorida]

Some of my neighbors use Verizon's over the air internet, and are very happy with it, it costs around $50 a month.

[boatorgolf]

I agree! Great help there

[jrref]

You can also get Quantum Fiber and stream everything. $65/month, 1GB bi-directional speeds, free wifi router. Very reliable.

[Pachine58]

Get a google # for spam calls, get rid of their phone. Or buy an Obi box and have your own phone system run over the internet. Get a firestick and Netflix ..cut the cord.

[I have T-Mobile 5G and it’s been great. $50/month, no contract or rate increases.

5G towers are few and far distance between. Most folks in the Villages would not benefit from 5G because the only tower I see on the map is located around Rt.466. According to what I read, they only transmit about 1500 ft. without obstructions.

Launching my Bushnell Golf app took until we were on 2 tee until the course maps were downloaded. Previously, using 4G, that process took less than 10 seconds. For that reason alone, I would be reluctant to have my home internet based on 5G cell service.

Thank you for reply. It was kind of information I was asking for.
