Comcast POA Plan Update

Comcast Update 1​

Subject: Announcement: New Comcast/Xfinity Contract Approved Effective Sept. 1

Dear Residents,

We are pleased to announce that today, Thursday, August 6, the POA Board officially approved a new agreement with Comcast/Xfinity.

Starting September 1, 2026, our community will transition to a new bulk Double Play (TV & Internet) package.

Key Highlights of the New Agreement:

  • Package: The new Double Play package includes TV and Internet which will continue to be billed directly through your HOA dues. (Note: Due to billing cycles, the POA dues each HOA pays will be formally adjusted in October 2026, individual HOAs will advise on their billing updates)
  • Upgraded Internet Speed: Internet speeds are being upgraded to 1 Gbps (Gigabit) access for all residences.
  • Peacock TV Streaming: The new package includes Peacock Premium streaming service at no extra cost for 2 years.

Upcoming Information & Next Steps:

To keep details clear, we will be sending out two separate follow-up emails shortly regarding:

  1. Equipment Upgrades: Some current equipment can already support 1 Gbps speeds until our upcoming fiber upgrade takes place. We will send full details on equipment compatibility and replacement steps in a dedicated email.
  2. Landline Phone Service: Because the new contract is a Double Play package, home landline phone service (Xfinity Voice) will no longer be included in our bulk agreement. If you wish to keep a landline, it will be billed directly to your personal account. We will send specific instructions on how to port your phone number, opt out, or keep your line to avoid unexpected fees.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this community-wide upgrade!

Sincerely,
Aberdeen POA

Phone Line Information

Subject: ACTION REQUIRED: Options for Your Xfinity Phone Line and E911 Service

Dear Residents,

As previously announced, our bulk community agreement with Xfinity is transitioning from Triple Play (TV, Phone, Internet) to Double Play (TV, Internet only) effective 9/1/2026.

While TV and Internet will continue to be covered by the community bulk rate, home landline phone service (Xfinity Voice) is no longer included in your HOA Dues. If you currently use a landline phone, you must take action to decide how to handle your number and avoid unexpected charges.

IMPORTANT: Action Is Required to Opt Out of Phone Service

Comcast cannot automatically disconnect existing phone numbers due to federal E911 emergency regulations. If you have an existing phone line and do not opt out/disconnect it, you will be automatically billed monthly by Xfinity for individual Voice service.

This automatic fee is $25.00/month plus taxes and local fees. In Unincorporated Palm Beach County, Florida, the final bill total will be approximately $29.00 – $31.00 per month.

Please review the options below and the attached graphics to make your decision.

Part 1: Handling Your Landline Phone Number

If you currently have a landline phone through Xfinity, you have three options:

Option 1: Discard Your Phone Number / Opt Out If you do not want a landline phone number and wish to avoid the automatic billing, you must explicitly opt out. Please log into your personal Xfinity account online (or call Xfinity Customer Service) and request to cancel Voice/phone service completely.

Option 2: Continue Xfinity Service (Auto-Billed) If you wish to keep your landline phone exactly as it is, no immediate action is required. However, you will now see a monthly charge on your personal bill (the approximately $29–$31 described above) and you will be billed directly by Xfinity.

Option 3: Move (“Port”) Your Number to a New Provider If you wish to keep your phone number but do not want to pay Xfinity for service, you must “port” (transfer) your number to another provider BEFORE you cancel Xfinity service. Starting this process before canceling is critical to avoid losing your number.

Disclaimer: The third-party services below are provided for reference only and are not endorsed by the POA. We encourage residents to explore all available options for phone service.

  • Tello: This service starts at ~$5.00/month (for 300 minutes). This can convert your landline into a mobile number on a new device or can be set up as a second number on an unlocked smartphone.
  • NumberBarn: Offers “parking” for $3.00/month (plays a standard recorded message) or call forwarding for ~$7.00/month to a different phone (such as your mobile phone).
  • Google Voice: Once a landline has been successfully transferred to a mobile carrier (like Tello), it can then be moved to Google Voice for continued free service (after a one-time porting fee).

BRISTOL LAKES ADT ALARM SYSTEMS INCLUDE CELLULAR SERVICE. If you are unsure if your system has the cellular controller, please contact ADT. It is included with our service. 

Part 2: Your Home Alarm System Connection (IMPORTANT)

Many residents currently have their home security system connected to their Xfinity phone line. If you plan to cancel or move your phone line, you must ensure your home alarm remains actively monitored.

Please locate your main Xfinity modem/gateway and check if a telephone cord is plugged from the modem into a wall jack, then follow the corresponding option below (and reference the attached image guide):

Option 1: No Phone Cord Is Plugged into the Wall Jack

  • What it means: Your alarm system is unlikely to be using your Xfinity phone line.
  • Action Required: Even if no cord is connected, we strongly recommend calling your alarm provider to confirm active monitoring signals are still being received successfully from your home.

Option 2: A Phone Cord IS Plugged into the Wall Jack

  • What it means: Your alarm system is more than likely relying on your landline phone connection to transmit signals.
  • Action Required: Contact your alarm provider to explore switching to a cellular connection versus a cable landline. Upgrading your security system to cellular before canceling your Xfinity phone service is suggested for continued reliability.

(Please note: This information is provided as a general guide. Please consult your security provider for specific equipment requirements).

Sincerely,
POA Board of Directors

SIGNIFICANT UPDATES FOR BRISTOL LAKES HOMEOWNERS

Please open each section below for important information.

Solid Waste Authority Vegetation Removal Issues as of 10/15/26 Impacting Bristol Lakes Homeowners

The Solid Wast Authority (SWA) has contracted Service Providers to provide Vegetation Removal services including residences in Bristol Lakes.  As of 10/15/26, Bristol Lakes has had two Vegetation pick-ups by the new Service Provider.  Unfortunately, the Service Provider apparently utilized a “claw” type device to pick up the vegetation which scraped and marred some driveways. 

Vegetation, Refuse Removal and Recycling services are NOT services provided by Bristol Lakes HOA contracted Service Providers. 

If your driveway was and/or is damaged by the Vegetation Removal Service Provider, please call SWA directly at 561-697-2700 to report the damage.  SWA responsively advised that they will send a representative to examine the damage and will follow-up to deal with the situation.  SWA further advised that they are proactively addressing the issue and exploring alternatives.  SWA suggested that vegetation be left on the grassy swale rather than on driveway hard surfaces.

Please do not contact Bristol Lakes’ Property Management company or HOA Board  Members regarding this matter.

  • Please be reminded that the new Comcast contract is in effect for all Aberdeen Communities. 
  • The new contract includes up to four “cable boxes” per home and high-speed internet (upgrades in process). 
  • Landline phone service and additional “cable boxes” are available at an additional cost to homeowners. 
  • The Xfinity app is available at no additional cost for download on newer model “SMART” televisions.  Some “SMART” televisions may require a “Firestick” and app download. 
  • To maximize your internet and cable TV communication speeds, Comcast may need to run a new cable into your home by appointment at no cost.
  • Homeowners can opt for “at home service” by appointment or pick-up, swap out and/or drop off equipment at Comcast retail locations with or without scheduled appointments.
  • Xfinity provides installation services at no cost through November 30, 2026.  Contact Comcast Bulk Service Department at 833-501-1893 and reference the Aberdeen Bulk Contract.  To expedite your call to the appropriate department, say “Billing” on the automated system to speak to a live Comcast Agent. 
  • A Comcast Represent will be stationed at the Aberdeen Activities Center on Wednesday mornings from 10am-12pm through October and possibly longer.

EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2026

The Aberdeen Property Owners Association POA is requesting IMMEDIATE submissions of updated Homeowner contact information (names, phone numbers & email addresses) for the soon to be printed and distributed Aberdeen Homeowners Directory.  Please sent updates to info@carolinapm.com before October 18, 2026.

The Bristol Lakes Retention Ponds (previously referred to as “The Lakes”) are considered Aberdeen property and are maintained by the Aberdeen Property Owners Association (POA). 

  • The POA has repaired and updated the west retention pond fountain and electrical systems. 
  • The fountains in both Bristol Lakes Retention Ponds will be operating daily from 9am to 11pm.  All Aberdeen fountain operating hours have been modified by the POA.

Snakehead Fish have been observed in the Bristol Lakes Retention Ponds and are a significant threat to our Retention Ponds and the inhabitants of the Ponds.

  • Snakehead Fish should NOT be released back into the Ponds if caught.  DO NOT transport these fish alive. 
  • Photograph the Snakehead Fish and report the sighting to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (888-404-3922) and/or submit a tip at MyFWC.com/WildlifeAlert .

Fishing and other activities ARE NOT RECOMMENDED in the Bristol Lakes Retention Ponds from March thru May due to the presence of Cottonmouth Snakes (Agkistrodon piscivorus), also widely called the water moccasin.  These venomous semi-aquatic pit viper snakes  are hazardous to humans and should not be released back into the Retention Ponds.
