Depending on your phone you have an alternative.

My wife and I have xFinity internet, plus two iPhone 13s that are on the xFinity plan for $30 per month each, unlimited text, data, etc. I'm not too knowledgeable about other phones but our iPhones have a feature where they can become your "hotspot" for internet service. If our internet service decides to take a short vacation the phones are our backup: iPads, Apple Watch, etc. all connect to it. A bit slower than our regular xFinity internet but not much. I don't know if our TVs would run off the phone hotspot or not but I'm not much concerned about that anyway.

Excellent backup in an emergency.
