    You can have VM TV services if you are in a cable area. It's not necessary to take the VM phone service.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    The phone line is installed at the same time as the TV line as the drop cable has them joined together.VM's broadband also comes over the TV line & not the phone line.
    As you say you live in a flat,if you are upstairs,you'll need to find out if the person below you own's their flat.If they do,you'll need to obtain a 'Wayleave Permission' off them in order to allow the installers to lay the cable across her property.
