I would recommend getting reliable high speed cable internet with unlimited data (we use Xfinity), use your own modem/router gateway device (we use an Arris Surfboard G34), and subscribing to a good streaming service (we use YouTube TV). We also subscribe to the Netflix commercial free tier, have Amazon Prime by default because we use Amazon so much for shopping, and get Peacock for free as part of our contract with Xfinity for internet. Total cost is $35 for internet using our own gateway (while under contract), $73 for YouTube TV, and $15 for Netflix. The Arris gateway cost us $180 to purchase and the cost will be recovered 100% after 12 months of not renting a gateway from Xfinity.
After subscribing to Comcast TV for seemingly forever, we have been very pleasantly surprised how easy the transition to streaming has been. YouTube TV has been great, and unlike Comcast, we can stream everything at both our Villages and Northern homes for the price of one service, and the cloud based DVR is a great feature. Lastly, we use Roku 4K streaming sticks as our streaming devices in all Televisions and can operate everything very easily with the included Roku remotes. Hope that helps with your decision.
