Where do you live? There are several internet providers in The Villages but they do not all provide service everywhere. If you have access to QuantumFiber (aka CenturyLink via fiber to the house) then they would be a good choice. You can use any router with their service and they are currently at $30 per month for 200 megabits per second up and down.

Different neighborhoods will have different providers, they do their best to eliminate competition

Stay away from Centurylink DSL line service. It's slow and unreliable.

It really depends on several things. First check to see who can cover your area, then narrow your choices from that list. Think about what you want/need in terms of data and speed. Then look at: contract/no contract, data caps?, equipment included or at extra cost? We just installed Spectrum wifi/internet only and stream shows we want via services like Amazon Prime, HBO, etc. The company did a good job on installation, which required removal of Dish/Direct TV services line and ground cable installation. They did not charge anything extra for those services. So far it's been good.

Xfinity is reliable and you can choose the speed you want or need. You can use your own modem, verify compatibility, or theirs.

Some of my neighbors have Spectrum and are happy others use Quantum. South of 44 all the options are available. I don’t know about elsewhere.

Not entirely true, Quantum/CenturyLink is not available in the Village of Monarch Grove.
