We use Verizon 5g Internet
With YouTube TV and also ESPN plus.
The multi view option, recording, capacity, travel ability, and family plan option make YouTube TV the best choice for us. I tried Hulu live, it’s terrible. You get kicked out if your ISP address changes at all, which makes it difficult if your Internet provider is modifying its IP address occasionally. It’s also very difficult to use while you travel. also, very difficult to find sports programming and manage the interface.
None of the stuff is inexpensive anymore. But if you’ve got two large tvs in the man cave then I think YouTube TV is probably your better option.
I watch my YouTube TV subscription on my iPad to watch football even on boats. That’s been far better for me than season tickets.
The Verizon 5G has also given us better speeds than any of the wired Internet providers we used previousl. we augment the base box with an eero mesh router system.
There are capacity issues in some cities now with the Verizon 5G so you might have to wait to get it if they’re not adding new subscribers. But if you can get it, it’s well worth having and you can easily return to a Verizon store if you don’t like it. try it out before you replace your existing Internet provider.
