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.

I still cant understand, having got such a good deal and having made sure that they don't make any money out of you by using Skpe etc., why you are so relentlessly negative about them. You are not providing any where near enough from your subscriptions for them to invest in their infrastructure, so I think you should be the last to complain about their services.
Hopefully when VM have finished their network upgrades and added more HD etc. they will be in the same position that Sky were several years ago and then remove all these ridiculous deals. Most of them were given for the loss of the Sky basic channels anyway which have long since returned.
