Ah, that was long ago, so I don't remember. Everything together is cheaper.
Previously I had pay satellite, landline, adsl, mobile. Maybe the adsl
came together with the landline.

Certainly, with an eSIM, which my current phone can not take.

Bell. The top tier offers 50GB 500 min 500 SMS during 30 days for 84.50€
Lowest for 30 days is 5GB 200 mins 50 sms
combos for 30, 15, 7, or 3 days.
I think the physical SIM I bough from Bell some years back gave much more.

I remember that one. :-)
