    only two internet service options at my Hollywood LA address are Spectrum (basic 300 Mbps is $89/mo) and T-Mobile Home (200 Mbps? is $50/mo)

    I guess Congress is behind the end of the ACP, this program helps poverty level people afford internet which is helpful for their kids to have for school related learning opportunities. Congress can send billions of dollars overseas but can’t help Americans with basic needs here, this needs to be addressed and changed

      @@njpme Ukraine doesn’t need to get all the money they need from us, other countries need to step up and do their fair share when it comes to Ukraine. It’s not just Ukraine that we are helping, there are other countries that have their hands out too. I’m not advocating for isolation from the world but I do believe we need to take care of our home country and its citizens first. It is important to have allies around the world but they should do their fair share. Members of Congress that don’t do their jobs and pass laws and introduce legislation that benefits their constituents, need to be voted out. It seems that some members of Congress think that they are only there to fight with each other and not do what they were elected to do and expect to still get paid. What would happen if we showed up to work, fought with our colleagues, and got nothing done? We would be shown the door. Vote out the dead weight of Congress that is getting paid with taxpayer dollars to do nothing, where’s the accountability? Hold them accountable, vote them out

    I did call spectrum and I mentioned about the acp ending and asked about any other deals and they did give me a little deal since it did end. Not as much as I hoped for, but it's something.

      they didn't give me anything, it's now $89/mo for their basic 300 Mbps plan, no choice but to switch to T-Mobile home internet for $50/mo, Spectrum and T-Mobile are all that's available at my (Hollywood) Los Angeles address

    We have Optimum. It worked better when we lived on the outskirts of our city. Moving back into the city area, the buffering is ridiculous on the living room tv. I placed cat cords on our Apple and Fire boxes in the bedroom. The WiFi in the living room is horrible. Thank you for your videos. ❤❤❤❤

      I currently have FiOS internet, 1gb service for $80 a month but I also have Verizon wireless so I get a mobile + home discount. They take $10 off a month for each phone on my account. I save $80 a month so it basically cancels out my internet bill

      In most cases, DTV Stream. Fubo has too many channel gaps. I have an updated DTV Stream review that I just uploaded.

    Can't get reliable 5G or even 4G at our home. Neither can our neighbors going out several blocks. So, 5G Internet is a no-go for us. We're stuck with two fiber companies who have colluded on pricing for their 300 Mbps, 500 Mbps, and 1 GB fiber plans.

    Fiber is almost always going to be the least expensive form of internet on the market. I live in a verizon Fios area where I pay $64.99 a month for gigabit speed. I also have a 4 year price guarantee. Astound broadband is another Fiber operator in Maryland that offers gigabit speed for $44.99 a month with a 2 year price guarantee.
