Once Spectrum increases our price in about a year, we may just keep their internet and go with YouTube TV. We already have Roku sticks and love them but have found some buffering issues unless your TV is close to your router. |

If you're on 5ghz, most of the channels are discreet, so it's less of a problem, just change it off of the default. Range is also smaller, so there is less interference. At this time though, most older TVs and such aren't on 5ghz. That's usually limited to recent phones and tablets. |

We are in Bradford and have both Comcast and Spectrum. We had Spectrum installed, one tv, 100 meg internet with over 100 channels including HBO and Showtime (both included in the price) no home phone for $146 per month for one year. It goes up $20 after that.

Do not sign a contract Do not do autopay Comcast is very expensive here Spectrum you get a discount for first year - all services here have a lot of taxes Get your own router use spectrum and you will need premium like showtime right now HBO sucks It will be $145 then up to $190 after first year for 1 TV and that’s 50mbps Your cell will go up due to all the taxes and experience drop calls |

With all due respect.
Not signing a contract and not paying with auto pay is bad advice. Most people in the Villages will pay cable until the day they die or move out of the house. Not having a contract and having 2 to 3 price increases every year is foolish. Its not how long you have to keep cable its getting the lowest price for as long as you can. |

We live south of the Turnpike and have Comcast for Internet (over 200mps), a decent selection of channels and a line line I use only for fax. The cost is about $175/month.
For the record I moved from the northern end of TV. I paid about the same. |

Do Century and Spectrum require different connection than Xfinity ( existing cable )?

We are also in Hadley so you are stuck with Comcast Infinity, Prices are astronomical. We have the very basic service with internet and only local stations (about 10). Internet is always sporadic. We have tried all the streaming services and have found that they can't keep their prices in check and they keep going up. We finally settled on Sling Blue and have been very happy with it. Rarely have any problems with it and its only $35 a month. Our combined cable and streaming bill is less than $100 per month.
Depends on your viewing requirements and whats available in your wallet. |

Hi All,
Thanks for all the info. So, in conclusion, we went to our local Comcast office, and they put us on seasonal, $50. This in itself is a scam, for what, just prevents me from having to return the equipment. And, an additional $20 to keep my internet, so I can see my cameras. So, $70 in total. Oh well, better than $255. Which I will address when we return in May. Now, in Florida, we are going to go with Comcast. It appears, we will be able to get good internet speed and television package for around $150. Hopefully, I'll be ahead of the game by about $35/month.Thanks again. |

I have moved a lot in the past few years - so I have had just about every internet/ TV service out there. I am sure everyone has pros and cons re: each one. I will share mine. When my closing papers for the Villages told me that my provider - was ‘Comcast’ - my heart literally sank :-(. I had Comcast before - service wasn’t that bad - but when I moved - despite not having Comcast at my destination - I had to pay out the remainder of my “Comcast Contract” - it really sucked. My last provider was Spectrum (before I moved here) - not perfect - but I loved the channel line-up and ALL of the additional LOCAL channels included (I love the old shows!!) - and Spectrum did not require a contract - plus, I loved their STREAMING TV ( no cable box) - easy to navigate. Anyway - I stopped at the Spectrum store - and they said I was eligible for their service in my newly built home!!! Most amazing - day of closing I went to meet the Spectrum installer at my new home - he was already there - he just needed to come in the home to plug in the router/modem - maybe 5 minutes at the most - and I was set to go!!!!! Best ever!!
