Too many Greggs sausage rolls for you it would seem.
to answer a few of the points mentioned:
yes , its a lot of money JUST to watch TV ( but i dont just watch tv , i use the internet A LOT and download A LOT as do both my daughters) .
The internet is a lifeline to my wife who cannot get out in the real world without it causing distress so again its worth the money for that alone.
Plenty of TV to watch when bored ( being a carer i can be trapped inside sometimes myself so its handy )
Home phoneline is hardly used , but if i do have to leave the house , my wife can get hold of me as i carry a mobile at all times.
So in reality , its not a lot of money for what we get .
( i used to live in Rocester , near Uttoxeter and paid over £50 per month just for 5mbps broadband and phoneline ( no TV ) and that was over 3 years ago , so £63 a month now is a bargain believe me
Just curious what people use their very high speed connections for ...
Apart from 'that' of course
You are fully entitled to spend your money in whatever way you deem fit. No need to justify yourself to others.to answer a few of the points mentioned:

As @proactive says - you don't need to justify yourself to others, When you're entitled to it, you're entitled to it. Spend it on what you like. The only time it bothers me is when people get it that simply shouldn't be entitled, which unfortunately there are too many of. I know your situation is genuine our friend and don't ever feel like you should justify anything to any of us on here. You're amongst friends.im used to being scrutinised for what is spent and what on
The way I've always seen it, Virgin miles better for internet, but prefer sky for TV but virgin a little cheaper I think?
Eitherway we've got Virgin and I use nowtv every now and again for sports / pay for entertainment pass as it isn't much especially as I've got a few months cheap after going to cancel.
Think yours smashes mine perry haha
