Cable TV and Internet
 
Is Comcast the only provider for Internet and cable TV? They don't seem to be offerring any promos and the price is about $60 for internet and $70 for TV. Is this correct? No DVR, I guess I have to get Tivo?
Any help would be appreciated, I move in Oct 22

Wow, that price for internet is insane. I really don't like Dish or DirectTV, but at Comcast prices, I would take another look.

Since we're there only part time, I signed up for the "minimal" Comcast package of some 20 channels for $12 and the lowest speed internet for $25 .

Total is $37 plus tax or whatever, comes out to $40 a month or so.

I had dish network installed today from Embarq and it is only $89.00 for the first year. That is with local, unlimited long distance and internet. You get HBO and Starz free for 3 months. I had Embarq for internet and phone and Comcast for cable and it ran me $158.00 a month. Even after the second year, which is $125.00 it is still cheaper. I am very happy with it. I have it on 4 TV's.

Comcast internet price is about $42 and Various cable packages run from maybe $30 on up. With Comcast you also have a subscription to thevillages.net, a $6 a month value that allows you to access the on-line tee time system.

Internet +
 
If you want fast, get comcast. Full internet, digital, high def. and recorder comes to about $120.00 per month (no phone or extra HBO etc. included) Also can be turned off or put on vacation rate when you are not in The Villages. FWIW -- Some areas of The Villages can't get a strong enough dish signal for internet, but it is a street by street problem. Welcome to TV.

Hi I have Comcast Internet and High Definition with onDemand TV
for 125.00 a month

there was a post a couple weeks ago where people said that comcast is offering their double play (2 services) for $66/month or triple play (tv,phone, internet) for $99/month.

comcast or embarq
 
Finally we are going to TV. As soon as we find the house we want. Can anyone advise which service is the least posionous of the two: Comcast or Embarq. From what I have heard Comcast has the worst customer service; (I am used to that, we have Cablevision). Embarq offers only the Dish. ?????
We are planning to go this Oct 14-18, any advise will be appreciated. We spent last December there, but this is serious now.

Cable/Internet
 
We took the phone/cable/Internet package from Comcast. It was $99 for first year. However, because I wanted the house wired with wireless network and wanted DVR it turned out to be $133/month. I didn't think that was too bad for all three. So far the service has been good and we are happy. We moved in two weeks ago.
