I pay about $60 for Xfinity internet only and they included their Flex box and a Peacock subscription. I don't have 800Mbps and I don't need 800Mbps. I believe I have 50Mbps right now which is more than enough for two televisions and two tablets working at the same time.
Live channels through either Hulu or YouTubeTV will cost about $75/month
With just that, at about $135/month, you have something equivalent to cable programming, Peacock for some good movies and TV series, plus an internet connection for your home.
If you want to add on movie channels then Netflix, Disney, Paramount, HBO, Showtime, and others are all available. Netflix, Hulu, and HBO are each in the neighborhood of $18/month while Disney is more like $10/month. I believe these all are available on a month-to-month basis so turn it on when you want to watch and cancel at the end of the month if you like.
One thing to be careful of if you are thinking of switching internet providers: HuluLive has not worked well with T-Mobile 5G internet and I imagine it would have a problem with Verizon 5G as well. HuluLive does work with Xfinity (I have that now). YouTube TV does not seem to have the same problems but I haven't tried it myself.
