Not
sure what everyone pays for broadband? I pay €40 per month at the
moment with a loyalty discount to Vodafone (increasing to €45 after 6
months), which gives me unlimited national calls and 100 Mb/s broadband
(I ring them every year and negotiate a discount for a year's contract).
Free TV channels come from a satellite dish (All the British
terrestrial channels are on satellite and some others, worth watching).
Vodafone keep trying to sell me 1 Gb/s fibre broadband, but that's
actually about €10 dearer per month than copper (which is perfectly
adequate). Copper lines that we've had since the nineteenth century for
telegraphy and telephony will eventually be phased out, although it may
be a while as older legacy systems like alarms may still need that
infrastructure.
