Phone, tv, broadband
I am currently with Talktalk - I have a you view box as I don't have a smart tv and I pay £29.50 for broadband and free anytime calls.

Sky promise it’s free for everyone because they’re so helpful right now but we’ve just been charged for it (£5) and we never use it. Can’t ring sky because covid 19 means there’s fewer people…
