Add to that that Century Link usually about once a week lost the picture and we had to call,and go thru the routine to restore it. I've gone back to Comcast and am so far happy.

I've had both. Comcast a little bit better on cable, a LOT better on internet speed. If you're a novice internet person, century link is probably fine for you.

How does price compare? Does Century Link tend to lose the picture a lot?
Comcast has been pixillating a lot lately. Is that even a word?

That's definitely a word, lol. pixelating can be caused by a variety of reasons, not all the carriers fault. If I'm on an HD channel and experience it, I switch to the non HD channel, and a lot of times it's fine. Truth be known, most people, to the naked eye, could not differentiate between HD and non HD. Test it for yourself, blindly.

Hello Fellow Villagers'

I'm the local sales rep for Brighthouse for The Villages. If you are interested in switching to us for service we do have excellent offers for new customer on your Cable, Internet & phone service. We have plenty of campaigns where you get free installation and most of out bundle campaigns do come with the 1st month free (excluding equipment cost). Plus we also offer home security as well.

In most cases if you are switching from Century Link or Comcast we are able to port your home number over, so you don't have to get a new number. All Brighthouse internet customers also get free access to all the free WiFi hotspots located at all the rec/pool centers south of CR 466A.

Keep in mind though that we are only available south of CR 466A though. Sorry.

For more information feel free to email or call me. Thanks

Are you EVER going to expand up further North in the Villages area? Please say yes.

I am above 466 and would LOVE to switch to your company. I have not heard the bad things about Brighthouse like I have for Conmcast or Centrylink.

I've been back and forth with Comcast about that for the past two weeks and it's very discouraging that they haven't resolved that issue yet. And, yes, their Customer Service really sucks! I agree, I don't know how Comcast stays in business with their awful Customer Service.

Yes, where you are located in The Villages may impact your satisfaction. I suspect Century Link customers with fiber to the house may be more satisfied than those who have copper to the house.

I know everyone believes fiber is better than copper for Internet - I felt the same way. I have Internet service via copper from Comcast and I'm completely satisfied. I'm not a Comcast "fanboy," just stating a fact.
