Stop in for a cup of coffee
Here is a good spot to start. If you are rural, then options are really limited.

Remember that home internet/TV from a mobile carrier makes you a second class citizen... and DSL has different grades and speeds. Important to make sure you're computer can actually keep up with the internet speeds you're paying for if the PC is older.
I was fortunate to have fiber show up from a local ISP. I pay a bit extra for the increase speed and up/down parity, but I claim that because I'm a remote employee.
I used a wifi Hotspot off of an AT&T Tower for a while, but you have to know what your consumption is.
Edit to add: Satellite based internet, other than Starlink, is a endless and unforgivable money-pit. It's the last resort of super-rural. Be cautious. I've never met a "Satisfied " HughesNet customer. I've used ViaSat and INMARSAT for work but never at home. $$$$
Starlink- check your address... it is NOT everywhere. Our friends up North and out West have it... not so much the East and South.

For "TV" streaming, it can get a little pricey if you want networks plus sports and you often have to bundle several to get to what you want...(Paramount + Hulu + Peacock... etc) I just go with my Amazon Prime and do without.. though I need to get an aerial up at some point to see what I might get from Broadcast TV.
