We are moving to the UK in August so need, three mob phones, a land line, internet and possible TV. Is there one company which can provide everything in the UK? Which companies or packages are the best. If by regions we are in Sheffield, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire area. The last time I lived in the UK it was BT and a modem. Think things might have changed a bit since then.

Sky do TV (obviously) and broadband, and have recently launched a mobile phone service. Whether it's any good or not I don't know (I'm assuming it's O2 resold).

I've got Three's mobile phone service. It's nice going abroad and not having to spend huge amounts of money on roaming charges (looking at *you*, Vodafone).

Cable TV is dead(*) - killed by Netflix, NowTV and friends.

(*) Possibly the Cable TV companies don't actually know this yet.

Moved to EE last week for phone and broadband. Roaming in the USA now included, the 4G is quick and you get an extra 5GB on your phone package when you take both together.

Was with 3 but sick of not getting data in busy areas.

Three. Had free European internet for years - that's a company decision nothing to do with the EU. Pay for 3G get 4G (unlimited data too as it's an old contract)

BT Broadband - expensive and terrible really but all companies are the same / worse.

Normal Freeview TV only

Vodafone do good value internet and standard priced mobiles, no TV though.

Sky and Virgin do Internet and TV (cable area only for Virgin TV) and both have mobile offerings now, hut whether they offer a package deal or even package billing I don't know.

BT for Broadband landline and 3 x mobiles. No problems at all.

The TV package isn't up to much but Amazon/Netflix etc are more popular in my house.
