Hi, Moving to Silver Springs in February. Looking for the best cable/internet provider. (Need very high-speed internet).
From the forums, I see people like SECO. Are there any other Elec providers people recommend?
Thank you.

Just so we're clear, are you moving to Silver Springs, or Silver Springs Shores? Sometimes people will say Silver Springs when they're actually going to be in the Shores, thinking it's all the same. Here's SECO energy coverage map, doesn't look like they provide service in either Silver Springs or Silver Springs Shores:

Wish I could help you more, I don't know much about that area. Looks like Ocala Electric might be your provider. Do you have an address to where you're moving yet? If so, ask google. Plug in your address and the words "electric service" or something like that, it should pull up the name.

Keep in mind, if you are in the city limits, you will likely only have Ocala Utilities available. SECO is only available in select areas outside of the Ocala area, see the coverage map in the prior post.

Similar situation with cable/internet providers but there some choices depending where you live. For instance where I live, I can choose Spectrum or COX cable/internet but not Bright house cable/internet.

You don't get to chose your electric provider here. Having lived in Dallas, I am familiar with the concept, but it ain't happening here. You need to live in an area served by SECO to be a customer, and Silver Springs/Silver Springs Shores are not in SECO's service area.

Cable TV and cable internet are the fastest and most reliable, but again, providers do not overlap territories. (BrightHouse cable is now Spectrum, one and the same.) However, do not assume you will have access to ANY cable company. The vast majority of Marion County does not have any available cable service and must settle for some version of Satellite. Again, check each specific address to ascertain what service provider you will be able to use. If high-speed internet is a must, you gotta have cable.
