I hate to pay for year round service on the house that sits empty for most of the year. Thanks

Hum, I would call one of the cable Co. & have them install theirs. Unless your asking if Texas & Florida has the same cable co. as Texas. My guess would be that no cable co. is going to give you Free cable service for 2 different homes. We live in Texas too, & as far as I know the Dish cable service is the only one that I know that’s in both states. I can also tell you Dish cable co. won’t let you jump from one house to the other for free. I had an antenna when we live in TV for a yr. & we got 50 channels, but about 15 of them were Spanish speaking.

We just went on “Seasonal Hold” with Xfinity for Internet and cable and it costs $31/month. I have Direct TV at my lake house Up north and rotate on and off every 6 mo at no cost during the off months. Thinking of “cutting the cord” with AT&T Cable, Internet and phone at my primary residence which just upped my monthly charge by $30/month. Depending on how that (Air & Streaming) goes, that may become the model to replace Xfinity Cable TV in FL.

We vaca Comcast at house we are not at. It must be for 30 days, but we leave internet up for cameras. Vaca cost is $40 a month

The problems I had with seasonal hold for both Comcast and Century Link was that when you restarted your service all discounts were eliminated.
They began charging at full rate and claimed that a new 2 year contract was established.
Bye bye.
Spectrum has no contract and mediocre rates.

I have 3 homes and I use my iPhone as a hot spot for internet at all 3 homes. I do not pay for internet service as the hot spot is a feature of my iPhone and included in my monthly cell charge. Everyone has a personal hot spot in settings but few use it. I surf the internet, mail and do anything I want. So when I go to one of my homes the iPhone comes along right? So there.......just a suggestion. Works for me. (the only thing it won't do is use it for streaming your smart TV). I watch Netflix on my laptop just fine, You tube, etc. Of course you need an unlimited data plan.

We have a hotspot through Verizon(our internet provider). $10/mo. and I can take it anywhere and have internet service.
