I have Dish Network with 3 of their DVR’s (the best UI in the biz, IMO). Trialed both TiVo and Amazon’s new Fire DVR, both paled in comparison to Dish’s DVR’s.
The included Dish Anywhere App also allows streaming and DVR control anywhere I have internet.

So my current line up is:
Dish top 200 $75/month including taxes. Which includes 3 STB’s w/DVR, no locals through Dish (you save $12/month).
Blonder Tongue OTA yagi antenna for locals, I can record all locals on my DVR’s with all guide info.
Century Link GPON Fiber internet 40MB down/ 5MB up $40/month price for life, taxes included.
Netflix 4K, $13/month (May choose to prune this now with their new price increase to $16 coming in 3 months).
Amazon Prime Video 4K free (included with Prime). 3ea 4K Amazon Fire Sticks.

Total Monthy cost for TV/Content/Internet only $128 ($1536/year). i can live with that for the value I get...

Quoted from northerndude:

I work directly with the equipment in the telecom industry. That would be a tough rig to get 100meg out of copper pr. You'd get more from coax.
With an isam (Nokia 7330 office eqpmt) you would need under a 900m loop length to get 25 meg with a 70meg ceiling (needed anyway) Companies are "bonding" pairs using two and putting them into a single modem to get 50meg on a copper pr.

I am also in telecom, I resell quite a few vendors different offerings. many ISP’s in rural areas offer excellent quality bonded VDSL with speeds 80-100MB. In the metro areas, DSL is being replaced by Fiber. But even with fiber, the speed and latency is most always choked to the home by the weak T-1 backhaul circuits feeding the neighborhood cabinets, PON’s & DSLAM’s.

Quoted from northerndude:

Every inernal and external isam cabinet we run is fed by fibre, so nothing slows neighborhoods down. and we are slowly turning everything into FTTP (fibre to the prem)
I am literally tossing in new bays to install new fibre 7360's to get ready for FTTP in my community, which is awesome.

Maybe where you are in canada, but thats certainly not the case here in the rural western us with my telcos and providers...
