We are not big TV watchers and currently use Netflix, Roku, Redbox and my NFL+ at the moment (up in CT). Not thinking we will want cable TV.
I use Comcast without a TV package with the second slowest speed. Works fine. I watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on a Smart TV. HOWEVER, I live alone. A couple years ago a friend lived with me for three months and watched a different station at the same time I watched mine and had her own iPhone and iPad. That many devices used too much bandwidth and slowed down the speed of everything, so the TV didn’t work as well. Using a faster speed from Comcast that handles twice as many devices solved the problem, but for a lot more money. I think I’m presently paying about $65 a month. If you are a couple that only watches one TV at a time, you can also get by with the second slowest.

Some parts of The Villages are now able to get 5G unlimited streaming for that price, including phone and all. In my neighborhood, that isn’t yet available. If it is where you are living, that may be a good deal for you.
