My internet is still through Midco ($50/month/50 Mbps) which is their lowest cost plan and fast enough for me. Midco had a $10/month cable price hike this spring and that was the last straw for me. Their packages don't seem that expensive up front but by the time you add everything up it get's pretty expensive. I think my last bill had $16 in taxes, surcharges, and fees. Add that to the cost of leasing their equipment ($15) and I was paying over $30 month in fees and leases!I don't have a "smart TV" so I purchased an Amazon Firestick for $25 and it works pretty good. Do miss a more advanced remote for some stuff but I have adapted. With YouTube live I get the local Fargo channels plus the networks I like. No PBS through this service but I heard it's coming. PBS has an app that allows you to view most of the shows I like (NOVA,Frontline). I have an Amazon Firestick (2nd gen with volume control on remote). I think you have to have at least a 2nd gen Firestick to use Youtube TV. I've read that Hulu Live is going up in price soon (from $45 to $55). If you were looking at streaming packages with local and live networks I would recommend YouTube TV. I've compared with Hulu Live and at least on the Firestock, the YouTube TV is easier to navigate (better user interface). I also have an Amazon prime account so I can view their content thought the Firestick.If you want local channels and can get them with an antenna I would probably start with that. You can do a search here: <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps" target="_blank">https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps</a> I can't get local channels easily with an antenna (too far from tower). If you can get local channels that you could probably look at one of the more basic streaming packages that are a little cheaper (like Sling TV or the cheaper Hulu). If you need to stream local channels then you would probably have to look into one of the higher cost streaming packages (Youtube TV, Hulu Live).</blockquote>
