Was told by SBB that I can pay $9.99 per month for each of the three devices I use with Roku. I want to tell them to pound sand, but our subscription is through a condominium association. Who doesn't get support from Roku? This is a joke!
Jdfuerst, I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is a Roku issue? How can Roku possibly help with some really poor Internet service?

Simple Roku has contracts for all of the networks they raise their prices to where it forces the networks to either get off of Roku’s system, or those networks have to pay the higher prices which just get pushed onto the customer anyway so everybody’s in it for a money grab.

I am not understanding the issue. Are you saying that your Roku devices will not connect to the Internet using Summit Broadband as your ISP? I don't think that's legal. A Roku device is simply a connected device and Roku themselves have no "contract" with any ISP for access. Internet access is not supposed to be restricted in any way for any device by your ISP. Some might have restrictions on running a web server on a residential account, but that's about the limit of what they are permitted to control.
Roku receives no money from any ISP, not do they pay any ISP for "access". I suspect someone is providing inaccurate information.
