Frequently Asked Questions

Streaming TV is entertainment transmitted over the internet instead of a cable or satellite box. With our fast, reliable internet, you can stream your favorite TV channels, shows, movies, sports and news. You can watch shows live or on demand on your TV, computer or smartphone. To learn more about streaming, review our Streaming 101 Guide.

Cutting the cord means cancelling traditional cable or satellite TV subscriptions and relying solely on streaming. According to a 2025 study by the Pew Research Center, 55% of U.S. households are cord cutters. A whopping 83% of U.S. adults use at least one streaming service. Only 36% of Americans subscribe to cable or satellite at home, although this varies by age and income. Streaming has now become the norm, not the exception.

Yes — depending on which streaming service(s) you choose. There is a wide variety of streaming services available, from on-demand-only platforms like Netflix to robust, live TV options like YouTube TV. Each streaming platform offers its own line-up of channels, movies, shows and live or on-demand content. Some options are just like cable packages, and others are quite different.

We’ve partnered with MyBundle to help you find exactly what you want. You can use MyBundle to identify the streaming services that fit your interests and budget.

Yes! There is a lot of free content available. You can explore free content through MyBundle. Of course, if you want to get live sports and premium content, that requires a paid streaming subscription. But if you want to save money, there are many free shows and movies available.

To stream TV smoothly, your internet needs depend on the quality of the video and the number of connected devices. Here’s a general guideline for a single device:

  • Standard Definition (SD): 3-4 Mbps
  • High Definition (HD): 5-8 Mbps
  • 4K Ultra HD: 20-25 Mbps

For households with multiple devices, if you have several people streaming, gaming or working online at the same time, you’ll need:

  • 50-200 Mbps or more

Our reliable Fast Fiber Internet can handle any number of streaming devices with upload and download speeds up to 1,000 Mbps for a buffer-free experience.

You can turn any TV into a streaming TV — and some already are! To watch streamed content on your TV, you’ll need one of two things: (1) a smart TV, or (2) a TV and streaming device. A lot of newer TVs come equipped with smart TV capabilities, which allow you to connect your TV to your Wi-Fi network or modem and access streaming service apps. Alternatively, a streaming device such as a Roku, Amazon Firestick, Apple TV or Google Chromecast will turn your TV into a smart TV. With a simple interface, streaming devices allow you to use streaming apps and watch your favorite shows and movies.

The remote control that comes with streaming devices vary. But they all accomplish a similar goal — helping you find the content you want. Some streaming remotes are simple with very few buttons, such as the Amazon Firestick. Other remotes are more like traditional cable remotes, including DirectTV’s Gemini Air remote. Most streaming remotes include a voice search function that is extremely helpful and user friendly — just say the name of a show or channel and it will find it.
