I use Starlink in my RV, similar to others. I have used it all the way to Montana and in Canada. I was streaming TV and browsing the internet while others were not.

I recommend fiber in The Villages. I pay $30 for 200Mbps up/down fiber. Starlink is $120 month when we travel. We have 100Mbps plus on Starlink but rain can impact performance.

Before the speed demons attack me, you don’t need Gig speed at home. Streaming only requires 7Mbps for HD. Why pay for speed you don’t need? Unless of course you are a gamer!

Good Luck.

120/mo?? Century link $75 for top speed

We often see them speed by at night, several in a row(s). They generally travel from west to east.

I believe that the FCC law on making antenna bans illegal would apply to this.

Interesting: I am a promoter of using outdoor antennas for television and TV’s deed restrictions are bogus for this. The Q&A section of the fcc rules imply antennas for the internet are also included.

PS
Bogus dead restrictions;

If the term used "is allowed by law", then that deed restriction is valid, but not enforceable due to the override by state law, ie there are no places where the deed restriction is applicable or enforceable.

Basically, the deed restriction is trying to take advantage of residents not being a FL attorney, and copied from before the internet took over the world.

Also, being Harold Schwartz's personal fiefdom when it was a small development, he was a bit controlling to keep the villages in his vision. . . and many not wanting to anger him, or change the development, copy and paste with only minor changes is the norm. . . No thinking allowed, just repeat past success while it works, until it doesn't. . . like maybe overdevelopment runs out of water, or waste water capacity or other natural limitations not believed to apply to developers in FL. . .

Correct. I did not want to hijack this thread so only gave the link about misslesding, illegal, and ridiculousic dead restrictions. Below is my full statement on BOGUS dead restrictions from a different thread. Pay attention to 2.19 & 2.23

I understand the need for deed restrictions and most are common sense. However a few are misleading, ridiculous, or a violation of the law.

2.15
"Aerials, satellite reception dishes, and antennas of ony kind are prohibited within the Subdivision to the extent allowed by law. The location of any approved device will be previously approved by the Developer in writing."
Both missleading & false: Federal law prohibit deed restrictions from prohibiting nor requiring pre-approval for antennas receiving OTA television singles.

2.19
"All Owners shall notify the Developer when leaving their propeny for more than a 7-day pcriod and shall simultaneously advise the Developer as to their intended return dale."
Does anyone actually follow this restrictions? Let us know if you do this.

2.23
"Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum of two (2) pets per Lot."
Does this mean if we have two goldfish, we cannot have a dog or cat?

2.26
"The hanging of clothes or clothes lines or poles is prohibi!cd to the extent allowed by law."
Misleading. This restriction is a violation of Florida law

3.3
"No Lot may be used as ingress and egress to any other property or tum inlo a road by anyone other than the Developer."
An excellent, common sense restriction.
