Sling...as discussed many times on this board. I have high speed internet and Sling. No contracts. Very reliable service. I have seen no statistics but from my personal experience, Sling is far more reliable than any cable I have ever used. The negative: they know that have sports fans over a barrel and you may have to get Orange and Blue (their two main services) plus the sports package to get all the channels you may want.
Sling's sports package add-on, for less than $10 per month, includes all of the regional Pac 12 channels and you can see almost every Pac 12 football game during the season. You can cancel and re-up anytime.

How's the HS internet with Sling? My service with Comcast is really great! Stable and very fast. At times, we'll have four or five devices going gangbusters. I HATE the cost (bundled with cable TV), but really like the service. Worries me to change.

FS1, at least last season, is on blue, and OSU often has a few games on it. |

I HATE the cost (bundled with cable TV), but really like the service. Worries me to change. I have AT&T high speed internet + Sling. There was trouble for the internet at first, but AT&T made some large repairs in our neighborhood and now I honestly can't remember the last time I had a problem with the setup. I have a cheap, 32" HDTV that is about 8-10 years old (cost ~$200-250 back then). The only thing wrong is my eyesight. |

We just switched from Comcast internet to Verizon 5G home.....saved me like $40 a month and works great. Even paid to break my contract with Comcast.
My issue with sling was the lack of the broadcast channels and not wanting to put a massive antenna on my house. Had Fubo for a while, but I would not call Fubo reliable. It wasn't great. Ultimately went with YouTubeTV because I love everything about it other than the absence of Pac-12 network.

Thanks to all for the input. I have fiber to my house and so far has been extremely reliable, but the Ziply bill is like a roller coaster, except it's always going up!!

Ultimately went with YouTubeTV because I love everything about it other than the absence of Pac-12 network. FYI a regular 'old school' TV antenna works just fine for HD broadcasts. I have an antenna I purchased about 20 years ago in my garage 'attic' Hooked up the HDTV to it and it's perfect... I have Sling & a small flat antenna for locals. Sometimes you have to move the OTA antenna just right to get a station. I tried the OTA antenna at my partners house & got nothing. So it works "pretty good" but not for everyone. The kicker during football is that sometimes the games are on a smaller/not well known channel (is there one less well known than Pac 12?) In those cases I take the "free" 7 day sign up & cancel right after Love my all streaming channels |

If you're not into other sports besides OSU-related, you can do what I do: Subscribe to Blue+Sports package 90% of the time, and switch to Orange when a Football game is coming up on ESPN (yeah like that ever happens), or when it's baseball postseason time. I find Blue has better non-cable channels on offer than Orange, so I like to keep it there. Switching between the two is super easy; you can do it whenever you want, and everything is pro-rated so your bill is the same. In fact, that reminds me, I need to switch back to Blue now. (Sigh, if only that could have waited a couple more weeks  ...) |

I’m embarrassed to say HOW MUCH I pay for cable TV/HS internet. Ridiculous. Moronic. I could finance a nice car with the $$$. 🤬
