I currently have a contract with Sky for TV, Phone & Broadband. I don't really use the phone & broadband as I have unlimited data on my mobile contract. I spoke to a rep at Sky who said I can enter into a contract for TV only.

Do yourself a favour and keep the broadband, mobile broadband is rubbish in comparison to wired. We would pay what ever it took to get wired BB but can’t and are stuck with crap mobile.
