I have Xfinity TV and cellular. I'm happy with it. It's not the best, but my cellular bill is less less than $50 a month for me and the Mrs. I wish I had TCM as part of my TV package, but apart from that I have everything I need. I cut the cord for about 2 years but was still paying for Netflix, Showtime and HBO. And my AT&T (cell phone) bill was about $160. I now pay about $200 for everything. I still watch PBS mostly, but it's worth it for the DVR and being able to watch live TV on computers.

We switched from Comcast to Verizon Fios but ended up cutting the chord a few years ago.
Just use Fios for internet now and subscribe to various stations on Roku.

Britbox is worth a look at Mate.
You can do a brief trial and there are some great UK shows on there.

I hate the Did Somebody Say Just Eat advert iso much it makes me want to smash the TV screen.

My favourite advert of all time is the Ivan Skavinsky Skavar one for Whitbread beer from the early eighties.

So if he dies he donates all his organs to another Conservative? I can't say i've gone off him because I never liked him in the first place.

Common sense and nuanced debate replaced by rigid partisanship on both sides.

My honest opinion is that we are in the early throws of serious Civil Conflicts across the West, partly down to language and attitudes like yours.

No more room for disagreement or fair debate.
Your way or be considered a fascist and fair game for serious retribution.

I liked Gercha - Courage Best.

Hate all Adverts, except the band The Adverts , especially like the excellent single "Gary Gilmore's Eyes"*
