Thank you both! At this point, al I have is Bell Fibre which is also expensive. My neighbour in Florida had Shaw so I thought I'd look at that. I can stream but I only have a 10gb/month account, and a couple of hockey games would gobble that up quickly!
Mike, I like your idea about address spoofing and I think I know someone who can set that up for me. Many thanks!
I'm not familiar with Bell Fib(r)e? Is that their internet streaming TV offering? If so, the setup is probably similar to Shaw's Free Range, and likely it's got the same restrictions for border crossing.
You should be able to access it from anywhere on the planet as long as the IP address looks "Canadian".
If you're staying in a park in FL, and they include the wifi, or even cable internet, you won't be using your own home bandwidth. Maybe that was confusing you. I just suggested you try to get the internet streaming at home, to test whether you can get it to work. I'm on Shaw Direct and I get Free Range (for free) anywhere I can get logged into my Shaw Direct customer account. I've used it at home (briefly) on my phone and on my laptop, so I know it works for me.
When you get to FL and get online, you can probably stream live TV on some fairly slow connection speeds. I have the lowest speed at home, and I can get most of the live channels fairly well. No jitter or pixellating.
Either way, good luck with it.
