1. Just take the TV part out of your plan.

Just keep the WiFi. You might have to call your provider. Tell them you just want internet, no tv.

Then sign up for the streaming service you want. I know that Hulu, Netflix, and Peacock can be turned on and off month to month. So if you're watching a long series on Netflix, for example, and ignoring the others, just turn off your account. It'll be there when you're ready. I don't think Prime is that flexible.

We haven't had TV for about a decade now. We have Xfinity/Comcast cable, but just internet.
