Don't get comcast xfinity. For 4 boxes (although one is supposed to be free), I'm paying 210 a month.

I cut the cord a couple of years ago and saving plenty of money by using Roku.  It depends on what you like to watch so Google and get something that works for you.

The answer is extremely regional by definition, so I am afraid you need to research it locally. If you lived in Portland Oregon I would suggest what we have, which is 1Gb Ziply Fiber for $60 a month, but it's not available everywhere.

If you have a cable company that offers fiber optics thats probably the best way to go. Less hassle less issues better quality connections

I have Verizon Fios which is quite reliable with good customer service. I don't know if they are the cheapest though.

Not sure which one is the best.  But would be best if you did some research to see which is the best one to choose for you.

Do Microsoft Rewards every Day and get a GC for Hulu makes a free viewing service, and you can even upgrade to commercial free pay only the difference!!
