IPTV in Massachusetts: what you need
A good rule is 8 to 10 Mbps per HD stream and around 25 Mbps for each 4K stream, with extra headroom when several people are online. In Massachusetts, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and RCN are common providers; any of them works as long as the connection is stable.

A wired Ethernet adapter helps if your Wi-Fi in Massachusetts is crowded; otherwise use the 5 GHz band and keep the stick away from the router's blind spots.
