1. Regardless of what kind of box you have, you will be "streaming" when using Netflix, you will be

using your Wi-Fi or internet.

I have the criminal organization "Comcast" and they have a cap on data, but I havent exceeded it yet.

I am assuming you are not going to be only accessing the internet via your phone and your PHONE DATA plan?

2. As long as you don't exceed whatever limit you might have on your broadband (WIFI) data plan

and I never have, though mine is only about 1.2 TB (1024 GB/month), then all you would be paying in addition would be your Netflix bill.

7. You would not go near 1.2tb, would you ?

10. If you had multiple users streaming on their individual devices all day and night, you sure could

I've never exceeded it, but it would be possible to if you worked at home streaming or video chatting constantly and you or someone else streamed a lot of Netflix content simultaneously or at night.

13. I must see if I can check out my usage, we've been unlimited data

for years and not only do I work from home, but we're streaming for most of the day. The last time I remember maybe 3 years ago, we were around 40gbs a month.

3. If your computer and TV

Both have HDMI plug ins, you can do it that way. We bought a wi fi connected Sony dvd player at Costco and hooked that to the TV.

4. What broadband package do you have ? Netflix can work on low

Broadband, so it might not be that bad.

5. You should be able to watch on your computer - it just streams on the internet.

You can get it on your computer on your wifi or via an ethernet cable, or on your phone via wifi or 4g (if it's fast enough), but it won't cost you any more than the basic subscription price.

6. WIFI is all you need.

I use roku and now have a roku T V. I would guess you need a device is all.

8. Your computer will almost undoubtedly be fine.

You may run into trouble with your phone if you're using data over the phone connection, compared to if your phone is connected to your home (or some other) wifi connection.

The only way you could really run up costs is if you're streaming lots of data over your phone connection, and usually you'll get some sort of warning before the bill would become to astronomical, but it may take a while for the warning to be sent, so don't go binging all of Netflix on your phone if you're not sure whether you're connected via LTE (Phone data signal) or Wifi...

9. With purchase of Netflix

you can stream on any device that is connected to the internet. You can also stream on your TV if you connect your computer to your TV with an HDMI cable. (That is, of course, if you have a TV that has more than one HDMI port)
Otherwise to watch on your TV you will have to use a device that supports Netflix: Roku...Firestick...Apple TV etc.
Perhaps your cable service supports Netflix,(Comcast does)then you do not need an extra device.

11. Netflix connects via your WiFi.

I'm not aware of any type of box like for cable TV needed. Check out Netflix help section online for all the info you need.

You can start a free trial to see if you like it. Netflix has a monthly subscription fee that you can cancel at any time. There's no separate charge for how much you stream. Check your ISP to be sure you didn't sign up for a plan with limited use.

12. No. Phone allows setting to access wifi automatically when at home

14. The only thing I know--

When I couldn't get my TV to stream, I bought a Firestick from Amazon and suddenly it worked. It was a DU person who saved me. I could watch it on my laptop, but we have a big, not-all-that-smart television and it needed a device. The Firestick was about $12 at the time. It has its own foibles but it's fine, really. Hope you find the answer!
