A question for BritBox subscribers,
We just got new internet service that had no data cap. And we love British TV. BritBox is cheap at less than $7.00 per month. Is that the whole cost or are their additional cost for some shows?

We ended up searching YouTube for many of the British shows. Their customer service pretty much blamed our computer which had no problem with Netflix etc.

There were some parts where it dragged, but it was overall a great show. They have some great programs from Australia and New Zealand, including Jack Irish, which is epically good.
BritBox is worth every penny. Vera alone makes it worth it.

(8,147 posts)the movie, pretty much a B, Belonging, made in her somewhat younger years. Got a start at
her unVera physicality. Sure, I knew she wouldnt be Vera in every other role, but I was still
struck by her transformationvoice, mannerisms, facial expressions, and the way she walks and carries herself.
Saw Homecoming. Enjoyed.

(12,299 posts)We've been on Exede satellite for 5+ years which is expensive and had a 10 Gig monthly data cap. Exede became ViaSat. Brazos WIFI is on a tower directly opposite us and we have a great signal. It was just installed today.
Oh I used to work for Verizon Southwest which is now Frontier. I still have a concession on my landline. I think we will go with Brazos WIFI for the phone as well- 1/2 the price and no toll charges.
