Trouble is the price rises are occurring on areas like line rental. (BT's and Plusnet's going up by a £1pm next month; remember there is zero inflation) so even if you cancel the TV service you will be paying for sport via the back door.

It's not a phone line, it's a line that delivers everything. Sadly it's not going to go away because the broadband companies' costs aren't going to decrease by £16pm.
However, if you live in central London now and elsewhere in the future, the well-financed company Relish is offering you unlimited web access for £20pm without line rental! It can do so as it uses 4G.
