RM> I don't have a major enough Data plan to stream TV shows so I have the

RQ>Our AT&T Internet is slow. 12 down and 1 up MB/S. The Radio Club used to have
  >&T Internet at the house, too, but it was a 25 MB/S connection.

My data just comes through my phone. It was pretty slow the first
while since it was based on the 3G system, but a couple of years ago
they offered a lower price with more data at 4G speeds and recently
I tested it at about 12mbps Download and 2.6mbps Upload speeds.

I've had offers from Bell to upgrade to a 5G system at a great
price but there are other considerations and no chance at all
I will be able to access 5G service from home, plus I'd need a
new phone in any case..

Yes, there are always trade-offs, and almost everything with no
commercials will be on a premium channel you pay extra for.

I've certainly watched all the flavours of Star Trek that came out
over the decades, and any of the movies that I could find..
And Star Wars too, although I'm not up to date on the newest movies
in that series I'm sure.

RQ>> Usually, if the TV is on, it's baseball.

That's definitely popular this year in Canada with the Toronto
Blue Jays in the world series for the first time since 1993.
one game each against the LA Dodgers, as I'm sure you knew..   B)

Ha.. back when I was married, as I mentioned, I wasn't into sports but
I was always working a lot of hours back then. There's almost always
something putting a strain on things..

They want the stuff that extra money can buy but don't want you
not there because you're working 2 or 3 jobs..
