The phone service is very expensive compared to other major operators and the tv service is not as good as Sky in terms of equipment or channel choice.

Can't comment on the TV other than the obvious observation that (like Sky) it's a whole lot more expensive than Freeview/Freesat.

On the phone...

For new installs it pays to take the phone as this gets a free install and counts as a bundle on cashback sites which are rather woolly on whether BB only will qualify. It only costs ~ £3pm more than without it so the £36 first year cost is easily outweighed by those two and you can cancel it after that without penalty (assuming 12 month contract).

If you actually use the landline then the £9pm for anytime calls isn't competitive - Vonage VOIP costs £5.99 and gives free callerid (£2 from VM if you can get it at all) + other features such as blocking calls with no callerid.
