All offer around the same option and channels and not much of a price difference.
I would say I am leaning towards YouTube tv.

YouTube TV includes unlimited DVR. That is what's been keeping me on it.

I use a traditional HDTV antenna for local stations. I distribute that signal over the in-house coax that cox or Eatel would use if I had their TV services.
We then use my parents Cox account to sign into the cable TV apps that we enjoy (Food, ESPN, History, Discovery, A&E)
Our extended family all shares streaming service subscriptions so we have access to Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Prime, HBOMax
Have not ever missed a show or sporting event I wanted to watch.

I loved the unlimited DVR capabilities of Youtube TV.
I also loved the share plan with up to six separate accounts for theoretically six different homes (I only got up to 4). But $75 (w/NFLN) divided 6 ways is unbeatable.
Yet ultimately, I only watched it for live sports. Even games I recorded, I found myself watching the commercial-less edit of the game on regular YT. Sometimes, I even found the live streams of espn CFB games on regular YT.
Then, for a brief moment, all espn channels were pulled from YTtv. That was the nail in the coffin. I don't watch network or cable shows AND there were no espn channels? I dropped YTtv. I'll find a strem of a game I really want to see, or watch the edited version the next day on regular YT, which is even better than watching it from the DVR library.

YouTube TV is far and away your best option at this time.

YouTube TV has more account access which is really their strong point and the unlimited DVR. But I had shitty streaming with it. Buffering all the time or a bad picture quality.
Fubo on the other hand streams flawlessly. But you can't stream the same thing from multiple locations on a TV device or smart TV. Also, I had a ton of stuff on Fubo DVR and it barely put a dent in the space total.
Free trial them both. Of course they can be stopped or canceled whenever too.

Could this be a wifi issue/ connection?
Shall I upgrade my wifi?

I had Hulu Live and really liked it but they stopped having the station that shows the Pelicans games, so I switched to DirectTV Stream. They are pretty much the same but I like DTV's guide a little better. Hulu Live changed the look of their Roku setup about a year ago and it was a downgrade. Its not nearly as clean and browsing was much much easier.
Prices are about the same. Do a 7 day free trial with each of them and see what you like best, thats what I did. YouTube TV was by far my least favorite of the 3. Sling wasnt even an option it was so bad.

Fake news. I never have any buffering and the picture quality is often better than when I had DISH.

I'm subscribed to the Sling TV package that includes ESPN and most of the sports channels. Biggest loss with that package is no FX, Fox Sports, or NFL Network. But it's half the cost of other major streaming services.

I have Fubo & Hulu Live.
I got Fubo because its the only one that carries AT&T Sports Southwest for the Astros games. I think it is better than Hulu, except even it's 10 device package is really only 9 on one IP address, plus 1 device at a different IP address, which doesn't work well at my house because my ISP requires 2 wireless routers...so only 1/2 the house can watch Fubo at a given time.
