Internet

Internet Services and program services.

Recently were have had enough of high bills

Direct Tv was over $100

Internet service was over $100

(virginia broadband for our location, so the service was spotty and limited less than 10 mbps)

So we made the switch to T-MOBLIE 5G internet via cell towers.

Our location is not the best for cell towers.

So we only get 3-4 out of 5 bars reception.

Signal is not perfect, occasionally spotty or lower bandwidth, but much better than Va. broadband.

Virginia broadband is a radio receiver signal platform. 

$50 total cost for internet which averages 50 Mbps. Great for streaming.

Additionally we pay $30 for services. Some are shared with family.

So we get Vudo, hulu, peacock, prime and paramount +, Disney, Max, and others...  

like MASN. For baseball & football games. Orioles & Ravens. 

The differences: 

First... we save about $140 per month.

Direct TV normal programming of current shows with commercials. Easy access and user friendly. 
(we tried huges net... its was terrible and expensive, can not recommend)

Internet streaming services.

It's a little more cumbersome to navigate and remember where things are located.

But you get use to it. 
The advantages...

You get mostly all current prime time shows... (delayed to the next day, some two days.)

You get not only the current episodes but all the past episodes of shows. 
You get access to shows that are no longer being aired..  old favorites. 
You get mostly all of them without commercials. 
(some streaming channels are free with commercials)
You get an extensive list of movies greater than most movie channels.

You get programs and shows not aired on regular channels.

Shows are available anytime you want, on your schedule. 
Only disadvantage... live shows can not be recorded (no dvd).

All in all,  many more advantages over Direct Tv and Dish Network. 
Enjoying lots of old shows, all episodes, that are no longer available anywhere. 
Sharing streaming services with family reduces the costs per household. 

So... It's worth checking out.  T-mobile gives you 15 days to check it out. 
Setup is extremely easy. One unit to receive 5G cell tower signal with built in Wi-Fi unit.

Handles up to 60 components... TVs, phones, tablets. 

We are going to keep it.
