Comcast basic internet service is available starting from $25 . All the upgraded speed and whatnot is
unnecessary. As suggested in post # 13, goto their store and get rid of all equipment and services other than "Basic Internet". Then use a streaming stick of your choice to get apps to provide whatever entertainment you choose. Quite a few content provers offer "live Tv" as an addon if you feel you need it.(e.g. Hulu+live; YouTubeTv+live; DirectTv+live; etc). We found that all the "+live" content is actually available via other apps that cost substantially less than the +live options. We like ROKU and Chromcast sticks better than Fire sticks since Fire started cramming all conceivable marketing hype into their sticks. It has become a huge Amazon advertising billboard. Also we tried Tmobile internet and found it to be wholey unable to keep up with a contebt stream way too often. YMMV.
