I don't watch much TV. But, it's nice to have something. Where we live, comcast (a monopoly) is the only cable line into the house. For 13 channels it's almost $70 a month. For comcast internet, it's $150 + a month. Verizon Fios was almost $200 for internet and cable. Those are outrageous prices.
You need to check if it's available in your area. But, for $50 a month (it's a special price. You have to ask about it) we get T-Mobile G5 unlimited monthly internet. If we have it for 20 years, supposedly the price will never rise. $50 flat fee with the internet box. I get internet all over the townhouse, it's GREAT. It's definitely not as fast as a cable coming into the house. But, it's not so noticeable that it's distracting. I've streamed some TV shows and there hasn't been a freeze or buffer. It buffers a second when I first put it on.
For $30 I bought the Roku express streaming device. For Free, Roku gives you over 100 channels. I love tru crime and there's at least 2 or 4 channels dedicated to death and murder. With Ruko, you also add channels for free. You can also add Premium channels for a monthly fee. So, we have Bravo, PBS, TUBI (live TV, just not from your area. We get Chicago CBS, NBC, FOX stations.) plus a whole host of others. I even have American Horrors channel. If you look closely at the wallpaper, in the bottom left corner there's a poster bit that says A George Snow DV US SINNERS.
Unlimited Internet, 100s of Free Stations, Movies, and such.
$50 a month.
That sure beats hundreds for basically the same thing. So, if you're paying through the nose, check it out.
