I dumped cable and only have internet. A smart TV, netflix @ $7.99 a month and a antenna for the TV and I couldn't be happier. You can have 6 devices on one account but only 2 can be using at the same time. If you have a family they have another plan for a family. I also got a Boost smart phone with a hot spot in case the internet goes down I can still use my comp. I went from paying $175 per month for TV phone and internet to $110. Plus you will save on electric not having those boxes from the cable company plugged in. Each box cost at least $7.50 per month for electricity. OH and no viagra ads

I love my VZ bundled services cause they offer so much & everything is included. When the phone rings I don't have to look at it to see who's on the caller ID if the tv is on cause the caller's name & phone appear right on the tv screen. I love their "Do not disturb" feature, I can program it so no one can call me yet can have people I want to always get thru, I can have it set to automatically come on & turn off, none of those "Private Callers" can get thru, got'um blocked unless they provide their phone #, free long distance, call forwarding service, rent movies for $2.99 some are $5.99 but the convenience is great, & then there's "Video on Demand" free movies, there's just so much that they offer included in the bundle. If the remote breaks I can order a new one right thru the tv, don't have to call anyone.

Sony Playstation is GREAT DVD player as well as for connecting to all kinds of online video sources. We use it for Netflix and it is great.

We stream wireless.

I now have a Samsung smart bluray player & ordered a small hand held keyboard w built in mouse from amazon. IT is delightful,,, but my son said it was all moving very slow due to slow internet speed, I just want to see if 30 will do or if I need 60/90 higher before I cut tv cable and phone. I'll know tonight if they show up as promised.

Our FIOS plan is 75 mpbs, but during a tech session with my wife's company the guy said it was actually running at 130 mpbs. He asked what the heck kind of service do y'all have? She just said Verizon FIOS. He said he needs to get that....LOL.

We stream wirelessly and it is smooth and excellent quality. Not blue-ray quality, but excellent none the less.

I gotta get a keyboard as well though.

Then if you are stuck with BH, but want to stream.....best to try to negotiate the highest speed you feel you want to afford.
