None of those are DSL service.
Who provides this?

I have xfinity and a cable connection to my home. How do other providers get service to your home?

I pay $85 for 1.2Gb of unlimited internet only, and that includes the $15 monthly cost of their router.
A month before anything expires, you should be trying to get another service or negotiate with your current provider, this is life.

it just became available at my address this week. They mailed me the equipment with EASY installation instructions. I hooked up 3tvs, 2 iPads, 2 phones and my thermostat in 45 minutes.
Verizon has a similar plan.
They are breaking the monopoly that The Villages provides to Centurylink, Spectrum, Xfinity.
If the Availability test says that services are not available at your address, check back in a few weeks.
I was watching T-Mobile and Verizon for about a year before one of their services finally opened up to me.
We considered this awhile back since we’re T-Mobile customers already, but couldn’t find any info that gave exact speed numbers, like 300, 500, or 900, etc. Do you actually know what their upload/download speeds are? This is important to us. We currently have Spectrum internet at 300/20, and are paying $73/month. We are using their equipment, but we just installed our own router so will return their router, but we’ll still need their modem. Theres no doubt in my mind the price will go up after we’ve been with them 2 years.

Unfortunately, Quantum fiber isn’t in our area yet.

Default Speed test

Just type in "SPEEDTEST"
You should see if t-mobile works where you live.
I have had up to 800mbs. Depends on traffic load.
If you are a t-mobile customer it's $50/month. Unlimited everything.

You are really getting diddled!! T-Mobile modem is free.
