At those speeds your not going to be happy with streaming services. Up until recently we have been dealing with download speeds in the 10 to 15 mbps range and it was never good while constantly having to choose between using the TV or computer. We have been using DTV Stream and it pretty much has all the bells and whistles that regular DTV offers including DVR service. We just switched over to our new local Fiber internet service last fall at 1 gbps and the TV service has been amazing.What happens if you are a bit under 5Mb? Does it pixalate and freeze until the buffer refills or does it just fail. I have 4Mb down but it is only guaranteed to give me 3.4Mb. (Fiber is coming but not until April 2025 or so)
I have streamed off of Tubi some old shows that work pretty well at the reduced speed but does freeze at times.
We do get local programming and commercials on DTV stream, local for us that is.
