if you can get fios, do that, even if it's a few dollars more than comcast. You'll get better service, reliability, and it's easier to deal with Verizon as a customer.

I think that's debatable. I've been switching back and forth between them for nearly 20 years, and Verizon's customer service in my experience is way more pleasant but way less competent. When you call them, they will be kind and polite but it'll be a total crapshoot on whether they fix your issue, give you accurate information, or even get you to the right place. When you call Comcast, there's a real chance you'll get connected to a raging asshole, but there's also a real chance they'll fix your issue in one or two tries.

I think what it really comes down to is which do you hate more:

Getting in stupid arguments with random strangers on the phone, or
Dealing with cheerfully stupid morons and restating your issue to every new person you get transferred to

$79.99 per month for gigabit fiber is a deal that's hard to beat.

I'm assuming you have T-Mobile home internet. What part of town do you live in and how has your internet service been so far? Any noticeable differences at different times of the day? Streaming use ok? Any info you could provide would be helpful.

Whitehall. I haven’t noticed any changes regarding streaming. Got it a few weeks ago.

https://fullservicenetwork.com/ in order for verizon not to be considered a monopoly they have to let full service bundle internet and phone it runs off Verizon up to the house they do internals you can call and get a regular person on the phone and are competitive with pricing

Verizon and Xfinity are the most favorable choices. To ensure you find the most suitable offer for yourself, you can confirm this information by visiting websites such as broadbandsearch or highspeedinternet.
