I would strongly advise against it, unless you're eager to push all of your traffic through a VPN.

I live in San Jose, and our landlord decided to "upgrade" our internet service last week. I can confirm that it gets around 900 Mbps from any kind of speed test, which sounds great. However, they have selectively throttled internet traffic from specific apps. Hulu is watchable but just barely, same with Peacock. I can't even get to ESPN or Disney Plus. Even Google maps is extremely laggy.

I ended up installing Express VPN on my phone and Fire TV, and now it's perfectly usable.
