  1. Because I retired and am out of work we had to get rid of all our fixed cable tv internet and phone, bought a cheap laptop and got 5G mobile broadband from 3 and I wish we had done it years ago. We are only on freeview a box was £25 we still use the old tv which had no digital, got a pay as you go phone from another source and on this next monday we will be saving £25 A MONTH. The mobile broadband from 3 works really good, even better than cable, although our old pc had little memory.
