We have heard of some people switching to T Mobile with a Firestick. Would appreciate any advice you could give to us. We have 4 TVs (I have my elderly Mother living with us). I need to have something that wouldn't be too confusing for her to use.
Thank you so much!

I dropped Dish network when we lived in Colorado and the house in TV was a rental and switched to Roku sticks in both places and added switched service to YouTube TV (easy interface with Roku and we get multiple apps like Amazon, Angel Studios, YouTube and YouTubeTV, Disney+ etc). We also like watching British shows on BritBox and Acorn. My costs savings were over $1000 a year. I only pay for Internet with CenturyLink and YouTubeTV and a small monthly fee for BritBox. I just switched my 80+ yo neighbor to the same. She had a few issues in the first few weeks but now, it’s great. She is dropping Comcast and saving over $100 a month as well. She loves YouTube as she is a retired pastor and watches various church streams where she is asked to guest preach.
The biggest change is no numbers on channels. But we just setup DVR recordings (unlimited hours with YouTubeTV) and all our favorite shows are recorded as no one really watches all 100+ channels. It has great filters so to watch football this weekend, just click sports->football and all games that are being shown pop up for easy access.
Also YouTubeTV has the exact same interface for all your devices so remote watching is also a breeze.
One other upside with sticks and streaming, all the Comcast crap (boxes and cables) disappear at all the TVs,
