Broadband deals / phone line

[PostHeads123]

Currently with BT fibre 1, paying £34 a month includes line rental but no free calls I don't use landline just thought I needed for broadband. In 25 yrs I've never switched provider, do you still need a phone line and pay line rental to get broadband these days? I'm looking at other providers and I can't workout if land line rental included in deals?

No you don't have to have a phone line. I ditched my Virgin Media phone & internet & signed up with Three Mobile for broadband.

Been using Three mobile broadband for up to 18 months now, never had an issue and paying £15 and a few pence a month for it. Best thing I've done in a while as well as scrapping the 'BBC tax'

Also check if you are now capable of getting a fibre to the premise type connection if you are looking around.

A lot of providers will still require you to have the phone line in place but some won’t tell you that you are paying line rental, it’s just included in the price they charge.

I had fibre to the premises installed last week. As part of that they disconnected my landline (I did know that was part of it).

Unless you have cable or fttp the you will still require the phone line. It's how the signal gets to your house. You will also pay line rental and have a phone line. Whether you know or even use it is up to you. As mentioned, some charge a separate fee, some bundle it in. The price though, is the price. Speed is a secondary thing and only you know what you want/need.
