I'd like to get rid of both CL AND Comcast. Then we could have Spectrum. Of course, heard good and bad about them too but mostly good. And they charge way less than the other two. And no contract!

We love Comcast but have Spectrum ‘cause it’s cheaper.

Purchased new modem from Xfinity (Comcast) on Friday ... scheduled installation for today (Sunday) between 10:00 am-noon. NO SHOW! Phoned customer service and was told they were unable to locate the technician but a supervisor would call me back at 1:00 p.m. - It is now 3:25 p.m......Still waiting... UPDATE: 3:35 p.m....techie called to say our service call just popped up on his screen and he would be right over. We cancelled our service call and will be returning the modem to Xfinity (Comcast) next week.

Word to the wise--think twice before going with CL or renewing any service with them
word to the wise, don't listen to Larry the cable guy who knocks on your door.

CenturyLink's annual revenues have grown from $281 million in 1991 to approximately $24 billion, on a pro forma basis, in 2017 and total assets have increased from nearly $765 million in 1991 to over $75 billion at year end 2017. It's a remarkable track record.

CenturyLink layoffs will impact about 1,000 employees or roughly 2 percent of the telecom giant’s workforce, the company has confirmed. The cuts come as CenturyLink strives to invest for growth, integrate the Level 3 acquisition, and pay a massive dividend that currently yields more than 11 percent annually to shareholders.

sell your CL stock guys and gals, Cable guy has spoken!

I currently have 6471 shares of Cl--curent loss is in the neighborhood of 30K, I have selected dividend reinvest as a way of bring down my cost average--last dividend received was $3393.00/

I have already covered my loss-, thru dividends received over time,but have not brought back my cost average--just started dividend reinvestment 2 qtrs ago

People who live in The Villages tend to make good decisions about their money. In fact there are many billionaires who live in The Villages, but no one would know by their home or their habits. You can sit down at the square next to a retired CEO of a large company and a gal who worked two jobs for a good part of her life. I love that. I love it here.

The Villages has the best credit rating in the entire country. A large percentage paid cash for their homes and their good money habits follow them here.

The Villages has the best credit score in the country, says study | Blogs

P.S. The worst credit rating in the country was Camden, New Jersey. I wonder why.

There are approximately 44 billionaires in FL (by one source anyway). I would not be surprised if there were a few billionaires in The Villages (excluding the Developer) but "many" doesn't sound quite right. I do agree that it is hard to tell who has substantial funds. It is easier to tell who doesn't have substantial funds - those who talk about money and how much they spend usually don't.

Other than the entire 'developer family' combined to make 'one billionaire'...I very seriously doubt there's a single other one here.

It makes zero sense for a billionaire to live in TV other than the owners. We do not have a country club, gated community or homes that they would live in. top shelf restaurants or good shopping.
