FWIW I pay for a minimal service of 3 mbps at my parents's lake house

It's not flawless but good enough for roku tv viewing

I cut the cord as Covid was starting
TabbHokie • 08/02/22 04:55 PM ET
That's why I switched to YouTube TV**

when we finally dumped DirecTV, over half our bill was equipment.

That's what I was doing with Comcast.

Question for streamers, how much bandwidth did you go with for...
EDGEMAN • 08/02/22 09:21 AM ET
200MB/s and I don't really have any issues with buffering. **
ElbertoHokie • 08/02/22 10:40 AM ET
i have 1GBPS W/Glofiber, and that's probably overkill. Only $78/month.
reestuart • 08/02/22 10:15 AM ET
6+ and hope there aren't buys times on the network.

My thought is that every OTA show I record is one I don't need to stream

Don't know but there is sometimes buffering (inside)
FfxStationHokie • 08/02/22 09:30 AM ET
I switched to Verizon 5G home internet.
GreenvilleVT • 08/02/22 09:27 AM ET
I have DirecTV streaming and I think they jacked up the prices
DallasHokie98 • 08/02/22 09:07 AM ET
Step one: drop their phone coverage
EDGEMAN • 08/02/22 09:19 AM ET
yeah - we have 3 receivers or something - i literally watch like 2 shows
bigbadbird • 08/02/22 09:14 AM ET
You know those adult movies are extra right?**
GreenvilleVT • 08/02/22 09:27 AM ET
YouTubeTV FTW**
FfxStationHokie • 08/02/22 09:05 AM ET
yup its a great service. I pay 80 right now(get HBOmax) and will bump it
VT Pez4Life • 08/02/22 09:08 AM ET
Yep, before I was paying just under $300 for Cox (Cable TV + internet)
FfxStationHokie • 08/02/22 09:10 AM ET
I made that change and very happy with it.**
