I used to get my broadband via a STB, for which I NEVER wanted the TV [modem wasn't available at the time], they still charged me every month for a basic TV package and the broadband. When I swopped to modem I had to take out t a new 12 mth contract, but at least I was just paying for the services i had.

The ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10.50 as it turned out was for the STB's rental and the fact it could never be switched off completely without loss of broadband. My advice, switch to modem and dump the TV/phone lines, there are too many cheaper providers out there not to do so.
