Broadband and landline
My Meo contract runs out in August. I have Tv that I never use, Landline and unlimited fibre broadband. I pay 31 Euros a month. I only spend 4 months a year in Portugal, now I am in the UK, with no end date to the Lockdown. What offers are available?

Re: Broadband and landline
I dropped my MEO package (though it was DSL and dearer than yours). Now I use mobile broadband, €15 for 15 days unlimited when I'm there. No great saving for you in a normal month, just the fact you only pay when you're there to use it. The downside might depend where you are in peak periods... in the Algarve you might have issues in the summer..

If you "live" in the UK then there are some deals on 4g unlimited roaming dongles and/or sim for mobile at around 11 GBP a month and I use one in UK, Germany, Switzerland and Portugal with no issues.

I also use a 15 days for €15 stick from NÓS Kanguru. I even manage to get internet TV on it, albeit the connection breaks down from time to time. I credit the number at a multibanco on arrival.
The UK stick or sim suggested might work ~ but if you are in Tavira four months at a time they might not accept that as fair usage for someone allegedly based in the UK.
