I have had Sky since day one and had satellite TV before Sky moved onto Astra 1, I jumped from Sky to cable about 4 and a bit years ago as Sky started to ask for the full subscription rate for the first time in all those years after being on good offers due to being a pioneer. Cable had a new customer offer, so I switched, then got that extended for a year, then got a retentions 'for life' deal.

Have Freeview built into TV, use Sky box for the FTA channels and my motorized system for other channels.

Used to have BT landline, but when I first switched to cable I just had TV and broadband and dumped landline and went VoIP only with a PAP2 ATA and several VoIP providers setup, however part of the retentions deal was free install of the landline and then evening and weekend package and I get free caller display too, so use cable for inclusive and free calls, VoIP for other calls and use SayNoTo0870 to find alternatives to 084 and 087 numbers.
