I have Starry, and have been very happy. Pay $30 for 200mbps i believe. Fast enough, no issues with streaming/gaming.

Customer service has been mixed. Had a bit of an issue coordinating a transfer of service when I moved. Otherwise, when initially enrolling, everything went smoothly. Their online customer service was nice enough to help me reduce bill from $50 to $30 when I asked about a promotion I saw online.

Thank you for being cautious and making the difficult decision.
