Cheaper to replace a Firestick than a TV.

I have noticed the TVs with built in Roku- have inferior performance and long term reliability compared to the plug in separate Roku device- even though its suppose to be the same tech in the TV as whats in the HDMI plug in device. I find the "Smart TVs" tend to get laggy, unresponsive and have trouble finding my WiFi. I have a Roku TCL TV that after a year I had to buy a Roku stick and plug it in to get proper function. My TVs Roku system is current with its updates and it still performs POORLY. I realize the only TVs available are Smart Tvs but don't assume that built in streaming system in that TV will give good performance over a several year time span.

Just thinking out loud here. Do you have the option to set up an email account thru you internet service provider? I have Spectrum. I also have a Spectrum/Charter email account. I don't use it hardly ever as Gmail is what I use. But maybe using the email service provided by your internet provider will pass the security verification as its all about the person attempting to open an account matching up with where the service is to be established- which is the account holders Internet Service Provider address.
