Quote:Hulu is now seeing Starz: The streamer reached a deal with the Lionsgate-owned premium TV network to offer Starz as an option to customers on any of Hulu’s subscription plans.

Starting Tuesday, Oct. 23, Hulu subscribers can add Starz for $8.99 per month, the same price it’s available for directly and through Amazon, Sling TV and YouTube TV (while AT&T’s DirecTV Now charges $8 monthly for Starz).

With the Starz add-on, Hulu customers will have access to the network’s live Starz and Starz Encore channels along with their full on-demand catalogs featuring current and past seasons of original series including “Outlander,” “Power,” “Vida,” “Counterpart” and “American Gods.” Starz also offers movies such as “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming” through its output deal with Sony Pictures as well as original documentaries.

I think Solohawks did one. You’ll have message Solohwaks to get it.
Are looking into comparing just sports channels or all channels?

Bad News: it is not in the $50 plan with all the other sports channels but in the $60 plan.

This would be an authentic next-generation 5G network, unlike the “5G Evolution” network that it rolled out last year, which essentially amounted to the same 4G LTE improvements that its competitors were doing under some creative branding.

5G rollout continues to be slow. The big 3 (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) have promised 2018 for rollout to get people to buy into their platforms. Most of their products (anything older than 6 months) are not yet enabled for it.

For mobile broadband against cable internet delivery, speed and cost aren't the real issue anymore as much as the data caps. Streaming for as little as 20 hours a week is going to require 200GB to support it, way over the 22GB-50GB data caps by the mobile broadband companies.

Yes they still give you some data after those caps but its unworkable during peak times (even within the cap using 4G). Data caps need to be bumped up to 500GB before it becomes a plausible alternative to home internet.

Speaking of that. T-Mobile was suppose to rollout their own OTT TV package when the bought Layer3. I haven't found anything stating when they will go live just that they still plan on rolling it out by 2018.

Maybe it will be in conjunction with their 5G towers coming online.

Quote:Verizon has overhauled its prepaid plans and has a very pleasant surprise in store - they are offering a prepaid Unlimited Jetpack/Tablet plan for $65/month with autopay discount, with no high speed data caps!

Yes, you heard that right, Verizon once again has an unlimited data plan with no throttle for data-only devices (but see all the details and caveats below).

Quote:5G is here, and it’s going to change everything. From the way you communicate to the way you game.

And it all starts with Verizon 5G Home with speed of about 300 Mbps. It’s the first ever 5G-powered home internet that can connect all your devices. It’s ultra-fast internet that’s ready for what comes next.
