Triple play (telecommunications)

Triple play is like having three candies in one package. When you want to have fun, you need three things: a candy to eat, a toy to play with, and a friend to do all these things with. Similarly, triple play is a bundle of three important things that you need to have fun with your TVs, phones, and computers.

The first candy (or the first thing in triple play) is called "television." TV is something you watch when you want to be entertained. With triple play, you get a special type of TV called "cable TV." Cable TV is like having a lot of different TV channels in one place. You can watch cartoons, movies, sports, and news on cable TV.

The second candy (or the second thing in triple play) is called "phone." Phone is something you use to talk to your friends and relatives. With triple play, you get a special type of phone called "landline phone." Landline phone is like having a special phone at home that you can talk to anyone from. You can call your friends, family, and even people who live far away from you.

The third candy (or the third thing in triple play) is called "internet." Internet is something you use when you want to find information or play games online. With triple play, you get a special type of internet called "broadband internet." Broadband internet is like having a really fast internet that lets you do things like watch videos or play games without waiting a long time for them to load.

So, triple play is like having three candies in one package. You get cable TV to watch your favorite shows, landline phone to call your friends and family, and broadband internet to do things online like play games or find information.
