No..not for streaming

No..not for streaming

For everything else. I’ve seen plenty of choppy zoom calls with bad upstream.

15 meg for a zoom call should be enough

No offense but they do not care, the NFL only wants that 2 billion dollars check.

Also, do not blame streaming for this, DirecTV decided ( based on yesterday’s news story) they do not want NFLST anymore, too expensive for AT&T to carry on a service that has maybe 5-8 years of life left.

As far as streaming goes, what service do you have and you should look into Star Link, for rural customers it might be your only hope for fast broadband.

Your estimation for Starlink is admirable ...
No one knows if Starlink WILL be there and ready for this type of thing ...
I HOPE it will be, but if I am the avg customer for them, They are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE ... as expected.

~$100/month is too expensive?

Report: NFL's Sunday Ticket Relationship with DirecTV is Ending with "Semi-Certainty" | Cord Cutters News

As the NFL shifts its focus for the future by making NFL Sunday Ticket a streaming product, the “only semi-certainty” is that league’s near three-decade-long relationship with DirecTV is coming to an end, according to a report by Mike Florio from ProFootball Talk. The league’s Sunday Ticket...

500.00 a month for the 400 mbps is insanity not to mention 2500.00 for the modem and dish lol

 

[navychop]

That’s the business rate, not the residential rate. Why are you doing this?

Plus all the equipment fees.

 

[navychop]

The monthly fee for StarLink is about $100. After a one time up front charge for the dish.

$ 589. Just to get started ....
Then $100 per month and you hope its better than what I already have.

Then again, I can go to Fiber and thats more than the $100 p/m
Internet prices are ridiculous as I said they would be when Streaming started to take place.

Btw, No, The internet is NOT WORTH more than $100 a month.
Don't forget you still would have to add all your Apps on top of that to watch your TV.

I would pay now for something that MIGHT be worthwhile when I actually get it .... they said sometime in 2023.

Don't you pay more then $160 for Live TV service, I believe that is a waste of money, specially since the majority of programming is reruns.

And the internet is worth that, with Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, AMC+,Discovery+, you get most of what is on Traditional Services for less then $40, then tons of free stuff on PlutoTV and Tubi, if you want sports, add ESPN+ for $7, so internet at $100, Streaming at less then $50, you are under what you pay for DirecTV alone.

Star Link is still less then HughesNet, the main competition for rural customers and you get faster speeds ( roughly around 200 down)and no data cap.

HughesNet
Equipment- $449.00
Monthly Service- $159.99 for 25 down and a 75GB data cap

That’s the business rate, not the residential rate. Why are you doing this?

I'm sure that consumers might want to take advantage of the higher speeds as well
