As far as sharing the YouTubeTV plan, I currently don't have anyone to share it with, but it might be tricky seeing how already I have a YouTube channel that I post nonsense on, along with YouTube Premium. They know who I am and where I live.

I don't want to lower my internet speed. I do a lot of Zoom and Zoom-like stuff with the company that I work for part time. I need it fast and reliable. Quantum fiber is available (940bps) at $75 /month, but then I'd have to change my comcast emails. I'm sure they'd let me keep them, but I'm sure there would be a charge. There's also the home phone number that works better than my cell phone numbers.

I have no interest in watching commercials on Netflix.
For Zoom 200mbps is plenty, unless you're /hosting/ the server that everyone else is connecting to.

You don't have to change your comcast e-mails. Your e-mail is yours. It can't ever be recycled and used by anyone else, so they won't remove it. The only time I've ever "lost" access to an e-mail address was when I had a snet.net e-mail. SNET ceased to exist and eventually all snet.net e-mail addresses were retired and eliminated completely. I still have a comcast.net e-mail from when we had comcast up north. That account was closed when we moved down here and I opened a new account with a different account name and e-mail. I don't even use the one that comes with my Florida xfinity account, and the xfinity bill gets e-mailed to my gmail address.

Edited to add: I lied. I had over 10 AOL e-mail addresses (loved those free trial CDs that came in the mail every week, heh) and a Prodigy e-mail address. They might possibly still exist, but I've long forgotten their passwords and stopped caring about them by around 1997.
