DirecTV Stream doesn't care what sort of internet service you have. It just needs to be reasonably fast (faster than 10Mbps download). And watch out if you have a cap on your download data because streaming video will chew that up pretty fast.
Thanks to @litzdog911 for the accurate and prompt response. The internet requirements for DIRECTV STREAM services are a high speed internet with a minimum of 8mbps for each device connected to stream the service, let's keep in mind you can use the internet provider that better suits your needs.

Good to know. I’ve heard that since T-Mobile Home Internet doesn’t use a fixed IP address that some streaming tv services don’t like it.
