The nearest thing to free might be when they have "package discounts", which is what you have (pay for data and phone, get TV "for free"). Such packages are often available here, but I never saw one where any of the parts was "free".

When I wanted to replace my DSL data circuit with AT&T's U-verse service (which is really just high-rate DSL itself), they essentially paid me US$250 to take their TV service for two months. Free installation, which would have cost $150 for Internet-only service, plus $250 worth of gift debit cards, minus the $75 per month the TV service cost. After the two-month period, I had received the gift cards and cancelled the TV service. This was in 2010.
