As others have said, it depends on your village.
Xfinity has a starter package, first year $20/month. 25mbit. Yes, this is enough bandwidth for multiple streams. Yes, I know what I'm talking about, I do this kind of thing for a living.
Century link is another provider but their speeds vary depending on distance to the head-end and your village. Century link in my village only offers 2mbit. This is enough for email, that's about it. In other villages it's 100mbits or more even. Check first because they are typically the most affordable option. If they have a 20mbit or better plan on the cheap, get it.
I have no personal experience with Spectrum, but they are a large provider, so as long as their plan is over 20mbit and is reasonable, go for it.
We stream Hulu on the Hulu plan "Hulu + live tv". Some people use youtube TV. Both are great. Hacked firesticks and other hinky pirate connections for $10/month should be avoided.
Good luck, welcome.
