BTW, bottom line.......Their all crooks.

It's not rocket science

Close your eyes and pick one that's available

I have Quantum(Centurylink) Gigabit fiber and am very happy. My wife and I both work from home in high tech and need reliable internet. It has been very reliable for us thus far.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good feedback. The two places I live at now are pretty remote and the fastest speed I can get is 25. The comments of these high speeds make me wonder if it might cause me to get a brain freeze.

We have Spectrum and the first year it was $55, I’m now in my second year and it went up to $70 and next year it will go up to $80. Since we will be full time by then we will probably look around for a cheaper alternative. It has been reliable and fast though.

Default Spectrum

Spectrum is the only one I’d use. Reasonable price they give you includes equipment and taxes. Only one I would trust right now.

Default Moved Away From Google Fiber

We moved from Charlotte, NC and had the best service there - Google Fiber. We have had Spectrum in the past and did not like it at all. Here we went with Century Link - which they just upgraded to Quantum fiber at no charge. We are very happy and believe we are seeing same speed and service with saw with Google Fiber. We use YouTube TV to stream and get great speed and service. I also understand that Century seldom increases rates (something Spectrum tries to do annually. If you can get CenturyLink/Quantum Fiber where you live (just became availble where we live in Dunedin) - I highly recommend it.

We've had both Xfinity and Spectrum since we moved here. The former will hike prices until you quit while new subscribers get a substantial newcomer rate. (I had Xfinity in Michigan before we move here and has the distinction of being dumped by me twice.) Used Spectrum for a number of years but our "faster" internet was $99 a mo. Have recently switched to T Mobile 5G. It's fine for streaming and our other needs but costs half as much as Spectrum. (We had to change from Hulu to You Tube TV with T Mobile but they get a discount for YT so it saves a little money there too.)

We have Spectrum no problems as of yet and the install guy was the best service person I have ever encountered. Went above and beyond to make sure our equipment was connected

Just got Xfinity internet for $20 per month for a 12 month contract with ebilling and auto pay. Plus I own my own equipment.
Good enough speed for streaming through YouTube TV.

If you live in the Historic Section of the Villages I have century link for 35 a month. I run 2 smart tvs and 2 phones all at the same time with very little interuptions. It is a slower speed but it streams ok with using Hulu.
