You boys and girls keep talking about "Unlimited" plans for streaming and things like the Fire stick. Well, the last time we checked, an unlimited data plan was about $10 a month and you had to by a "Jet pack" from Verizon. The Jet pack was somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 or so. And in order to use it, you had to be in a cell site service area. If you were outside of that, you might as well play cards. Or, if you're lucky, your raised batwing might bring something in.
We have TWO Fire sticks. And well, I'm just not all that impressed with them. And we use them at HOME, not on the road. It seems that almost no matter what kind of program I want to watch, be it a weekly TV show, or a movie, a very, very large percentage of the time, all I get is buffering. About 95% of what I look to watch, never even comes in because, there's no one streaming it or however that system works.

1st off get the Roku 4 HD box and have a good internet at home, its far better than Firestick, certain wifi TV boxes don't have all the content and buffering issues is your weak internet..
To stream you need good equipment and good strong internet, like I have said before I get the latest shows and can even watch some movies that are still in theaters, plus thousands of shows, sitcoms, news, sports, documenters, you name it I have it at my house and on the road..
Just like a satellite dish and equipment you need the good stuff if you want to get all the good channels..
