About these results

* Average speeds are based on the download speed available to at least 50% of customers with this product during peak time (8 to 10pm). Your actual speeds depend on factors like your connection type, area, time of day and distance from the telephone exchange.

§ Order before 8pm for next working day delivery. To find out more about delivery times, please check the provider site for more details.

Deals are subject to local availability and may not be available to existing customers. You can confirm availability and estimated speeds for your property on the provider’s website - this may be different to what we show.

Some providers may increase monthly costs each year during your contract, in line with the retail or consumer price index. Check their terms before signing up.

What are broadband only deals?

Broadband only deals are packages that don't include any extra charges for landline, mobile, or TV services. You pay for your internet access, and that's it.

With a broadband only deal, you pay only for your broadband. This is ideal if you don't need landline or TV services and just want to get online as easily and quickly as possible.

One of the main benefits of these deals is that they tend to be cheaper, so they’re a great option if you're looking to keep your bills low or if you're looking for student broadband. And as you won't be paying extra for services you don't use, it can also be a simpler option with less admin.

Cheap broadband deals

However, there are a couple of things to be aware of when looking for the best broadband only deals. Some providers have varying definitions of this, so there are a few key differences to remember.

Most often, 'broadband only' is without a paid home phone package. However, many broadband connections still need phone lines to work, even if you don't want to use them to make calls. However, paying for line rental isn't common these days.

Three ways to get a broadband only contract

Here are the different ways you could select a broadband only deal.

1. Broadband only with a phone line

This is the most common form of broadband only deals. It requires you to have a phone line for the broadband to reach your home. Often, these will come with pay-as-you-go phone services as add-ons. So you still have the option of a phone, but you won't pay for anything you don't use.

2. Broadband without a phone line

This is what many people assume broadband will only mean, and it entirely removes the need for a phone line. However, only certain providers offer such services. For example, if you can get ultrafast speeds or full fibre broadband, you can enjoy broadband only without a phone line.

3. Mobile broadband

This type of wireless broadband connects you to the internet using a 4G or 5G mobile network via a data-only SIM card. No phone line is required, but a strong mobile connection in your home is a must.

Which providers offer broadband only deals?

Almost all UK broadband providers offer some form of broadband only deal. For most of these, connections will still need to be made with a phone line, but nowadays, you won't usually be charged line rental as an additional cost.

Some providers offer true broadband-only deals where no phone is required. The main supplier is Virgin Media, but full fibre providers such as fixed-price supplier Hyperoptic also offer these services where available. Mobile broadband operators such as Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three also offer broadband-only deals.

Of course, most of the big providers now offer full fibre connections to a good number of UK properties, too. So, if the service is available to your home, you can also choose a broadband-only deal with them.

Do I still need a phone line to get broadband?

In many cases, yes. Most UK broadband providers deliver their internet connectivity via a phone line using Openreach's network through copper or fibre cables. So you will still need to have a connection in place, but in most cases, you won't have to pay anything extra for this.

However, a growing number of full fibre providers deliver their internet services via their own network, so no phone line is required for these services. These aren't as widely available as part-fibre connections yet, so use our broadband postcode checker to see if you can access them where you are.

What are the disadvantages of broadband without a landline?

The main disadvantage of broadband without a landline is that you don't have an alternative phone option available should you need one.

If you've chosen to cut the cord and rely solely on your mobile, this could leave you without a way to communicate if there are network problems or in the event of a prolonged power cut that leaves you unable to charge your devices.

However, landlines will still operate in these circumstances, so they can always be relied on in an emergency.

Can I get fibre broadband without a phone line?

Yes. Virgin's fibre deals are all available without a landline, and full fibre providers can deliver speeds of up to 1Gbps without needing a phone connection. If these services are available in your area, you can enjoy fast fibre broadband deals without a phone line.

Over half of UK homes also have full fibre. This eliminates the need for a phone line and offers similar (sometimes faster) speeds than Virgin Media. So, if full fibre is available to you, it might be a good option for a broadband-only connection.

If not, however, you will need to pay an extra line rental charge to access part-fibre broadband from providers that use the Openreach network, which includes BT, Sky, and TalkTalk.

Our broadband expert says

“Even if you still need a phone line to get broadband, you won't need to pay for a landline phone on top of your broadband service for it to work.


With landline use on the way down and streaming becoming an ever-more popular way to watch TV, it's now very common for people to just opt for a broadband-only deal. You should be able to find a range of them available from various providers.”

Are broadband bundles a better option?

While broadband only deals will be the better option for many people who don't have an interest in phone or TV services, if you do want to add these options to your home, it may often be cheaper to opt for a bundled package, such as a broadband and home phone deal, even if you only use these services occasionally.

For instance, while many broadband-only providers offer pay-as-you-go phone services, a bundle with included calls may be cheaper depending on how often you use them.

Meanwhile, adding pay TV channels to a bundle will often be less costly than getting them separately, as many pay-TV providers offer better deals for those who take broadband and phone services from them. Just keep note that some may come with higher upfront costs.

Therefore, if you are considering getting a TV and broadband deal, compare broadband, phone, and TV deals to ensure you're getting the best package for your needs.
