We have internet only service with Comcast. We use apple tv not roku--but since it's pretty much the same thing, I thought I'd weigh in.
Before Comcast, we used Clear, which worked well for a while and then started having lots of downtime. Before that we used Earthlink DSL, which was OK. Comcast has been more reliable though. |

| We have cheap internet-only service with Comcast ($19.99 a month) and occasionally have to wait a couple of minutes for a Netflix show to buffer and stop stumbling, but most of the time it works just fine. |

Cheapest FIOS.
Use Netflix and Hulu primarily. We have 3 devices that can stream TV. One of them is a wireless Sony BD player. Through that we've also found Crackle (totally free) and Zudu (Streaming Pay-per view). |

| So what do you all do for watching sports? That is the biggest problem we have without cable: trying to get sports. ANy suggestions? |

Ironically, to use the premium channel streaming services, you have to be a subscriber to cable. So for shows on these channels, you just have to wait until the DVD of the season is released before you can stream it on iTunes/hulu/etc. It's thought that this will change as more and more people dump cable. |

I think you can pay for a season ticket to stream games for everything except NFL. You can also use an antenna to get any games on the local channels. |

Sounds like a hassle to me.

| Sidebar: What do you do for telephone? We currently have FIOS TV/phone/internet. Would love to dump the TV, but discovered that they then bump up the price of the phone/internet. So not much cost savings. What IS the answer, LOL?! |

| We us Verizon DSL and Verizon phone and then use websites and Amazon Prime to watch shows on our computers. Occasionally it buffers but generally we don't have any problems with internet or phone. |

We went to a FIOS internet only plan. Less than $50 a month. Bought a paper Thin Leaf Indoor HDTV Antenna today. Haven't hooked it up yet. |

It's much less of a hassle than having to deal with Comcast for any issue. |
