Yankeefan - Call, email, text, or PM me. I will help you out however I can and try to make the transition as easy as possible.

JustJim - As far as I can tell, it looks like you live in Sanibel. If that is the case, contact me and I will go over the options you have for switching from Comcast to Bright House.

Yorio - there are several reasons why Bright House is south of 466A and not north, but pretty much right now it is MONEY. The Villages built these new sections down into our service are so we were able to get service to them for relatively low investment. Because we were able to get in pre-construction, we could run our lines with the least amount of labor costs (no tearing up yards, streets, etc.). Also, there may or may not be some exclusivity agreements for other sections of The Villages, not sure and not saying there is, but could be part of the problem. Hopefully, everything in the south will go good and eventually we can look at moving up north, but that would be somewhere off in the future.

If anyone has any questions or needs any info, do not hesitate to call or email me.

Thanks as always,
Paul

I for one am mighty happy that I will be able to continue with Brighthouse next month when I come to Gilchrist.

Another vote for Brighthouse

Brighthouse whole house DVR, Great

I use direct TV and have had no problems
And I use Centurylink for tv and phone - no problems
I have lived in the Villages since 8/12
Hope this helps

DirecTV and Centurylink have partnered to offer a bundled savings for both internet and TV. I've never had problems with Centurylink, either customer service or technical troubleshooting, although I don't get the promised speed. But then, I never have with other ISPs over the years, including cable companies. I like that there's a Centurylink office here if I want to skip the phone and drive over to get something straightened out.

I'm very pleased with DirecTV; their DVR is excellent and they have a robust channel lineup -- I'm a little surprised to hear that other companies don't offer BBC America.

Of course it's all terribly expensive, just like having a phone has become.

Standard oldtimer: Why, I remember when cable was $3 a month. <g>
