Broadband without a landline in the UK

You can get broadband without a landline from many UK providers. Full Fibre, cable, 4G, 5G and satellite connections don’t need a traditional copper phone line. Some FTTC packages use copper but don’t include phone service. People use “without a landline” to mean either of those things, and the difference matters when you’re choosing a package.

Ofcom’s Connected Nations 2025 report says just over 1 million households stopped using a landline while keeping broadband in the year to July 2025. In this article, we review UK internet service provider packages that come without a landline. You’ll see which providers offer broadband without a home-phone service, the package names and speeds available, and how the main connection types differ.

Which UK broadband providers offer packages without a landline?

Broadband provider reviews for packages without a phone line

Package speeds range from entry-level Full Fibre to multi-gigabit broadband. You can also choose 4G, 5G or satellite services where they’re available.

BT and EE

BT Full Fibre 300, 500 and 900 and EE Core Broadband 150, 500 and 900 give you a choice from everyday household speeds to gigabit service. EE’s 150Mbps tier is its lower-speed Full Fibre option.

BT Digital Voice and EE Digital Home Phone are separate internet-based phone services.

If you don’t want a home number, leave the phone add-on off your package. If you do, check that your provider can transfer your number before switching.

Sky and NOW

Sky offers Full Fibre packages at 75Mbps, 100Mbps, 300Mbps and 500Mbps, plus Gigafast at 900Mbps and Gigafast+ at 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps. NOW offers Full Fibre at 75Mbps, 100Mbps and 300Mbps. That gives you higher-speed options with Sky.

Sky Internet Calls is a digital home-phone service that uses broadband. It is separate from the physical copper phone line, but it still means your order includes a phone service. Check the basket for Sky Talk or Internet Calls if you want broadband only.

TalkTalk and Plusnet

TalkTalk offers Full Fibre 65, 150, 500 and 900Mbps packages. Plusnet offers Full Fibre packages from 74Mbps through 900Mbps. Plusnet also has a Part Fibre option up to 66Mbps.

Vodafone and Three

Vodafone’s fixed broadband packages range from Full Fibre 74Mbps to 910Mbps, with 150Mbps and 500Mbps options between them. Phone service is optional on these packages. Three’s 4G and 5G Home Broadband works differently. It uses a mobile network router to get you online.

Starlink satellite broadband

Starlink’s Residential service connects through an outdoor satellite dish and home router. It can suit properties outside the reach of fixed and mobile broadband networks. You’ll need a suitable view of the sky and a place to install the dish. Check the installation requirements and availability for your address before comparing it with a wired package.

Virgin Media

Virgin Media’s M125, M250, M350, M500, Gig1 and Gig2 packages use its cable network. You can order broadband without a home-phone service. M125 and M250 cover lower speed tiers, while Gig1 and Gig2 sit at the top of the range.

Hyperoptic and Community Fibre

Both providers sell Full Fibre, but their speed ranges are quite different. Hyperoptic’s 150Mb, 500Mb and 1Gb residential packages cover common home speed tiers. Community Fibre offers speeds from 150Mbps through 500Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps to 8.5Gbps. Those multi-gig tiers are specialist options. Most households should first consider how many people are online, what they do at the same time and whether their devices can use a connection that fast.

Community Fibre also offers a separate digital phone service. Hyperoptic says phone service is optional on eligible packages. In either case, broadband without a phone service is available, but confirm the package selection and any add-ons in the order summary.

Gigaclear

Gigaclear’s Full Fibre packages range from 300Mbps to 3,000Mbps, including 600Mbps and 900Mbps tiers. The 300 to 900Mbps options give households a range below the provider’s multi-gig package. Its broadband is sold without a home phone as standard, with VoIP available separately. As with other high-speed plans, check whether your router and wired devices can make practical use of the highest tier.

Airband

Airband offers Full Fibre packages from Fibre 150 to Fibre 900. Its network also includes fixed wireless in selected locations, so check the technology offered at your property rather than assuming every Airband connection is fibre. Airband Talk is an optional VoIP service.

Fibrus

Fibrus offers Full Fibre tiers from 150Mbps to 2,000Mbps. The range gives you a choice between standard household speeds and a multi-gigabit option, subject to the network and package available at your address. Fibrus broadband-only packages don’t require a home-phone service. Its phone service is a separate add-on.

Grain Connect

Grain Connect’s Full Fibre tiers run from 250Mbps to 2,000Mbps. Grain describes its Full Fibre speeds as symmetrical, which means the advertised upload and download speeds match. That can help people who regularly send large files or make video calls, although actual results still depend on the connection and home network. Grain’s digital phone service is a separate VoIP add-on.

toob

toob’s home150, home300, home600 and home900 packages step through the main speed bands, while home2300 is its multi-gig tier. The speed steps give households options from everyday use to gigabit broadband. toob’s home-phone service is a separate add-on.

YouFibre

YouFibre’s You 200, You 1000, You 2000 and You 8000 packages span a wide range, from 200Mbps to a multi-gigabit service. YouPhone is a separate broadband-based phone option, which means you can take the broadband without adding it.

GoFibre

GoFibre offers Full Fibre packages at 150Mbps, 300Mbps and 500Mbps, plus GoFibre MAX at 1,000Mbps. Call Plan+ is a separate VoIP add-on for people who want a home phone.

Zzoomm

Zzoomm offers Full Fibre packages at 200, 500, 700, 1,000 and 2,300Mbps. This provides several steps between an entry tier and multi-gigabit broadband. Its Home Phone service is a separate VoIP add-on. BeFibre has changed its name to Zzoomm, so people searching for the former brand should check Zzoomm’s availability and package details.

Zen Internet

Zen’s Full Fibre tiers are 100, 300, 500 and 900Mbps. These give you a set of speed choices across the common home broadband range, while the available network and speeds depend on your address. Zen’s phone service is separate. Check whether Digital Voice is included if you want broadband without a home-phone service.

4th Utility

4th Utility offers Full Fibre packages at 100Mbps and 150Mbps, as well as higher-speed options up to 2.3Gbps. 4th Utility broadband packages don’t include a phone service.

B4RN

B4RN’s residential Full Fibre starts at 1Gbps, with a 10Gbps option available on request. That puts its top tier above the 2.5Gbps options from Connexin and Wildanet, although most homes won’t need multi-gigabit speeds. B4RN is a community-owned rural network, and B4RN Voice is separate from the broadband service.

BrawBand

BrawBand’s named Full Fibre packages include The Bairn at 150Mbps and two 900Mbps options, The Belter! and The Pure Rapid One. That gives you a choice between an everyday speed and gigabit-class service; BrawPhone is optional.

Connexin

Connexin’s named Fibre tiers range from Essential Fibre 200Mbps and Plus Fibre 500Mbps to Premium Fibre and Pro Fibre options up to 2.5Gbps. You’ll see different package names and speeds depending on which wholesale network reaches your home, so compare the options available at your address.

Truespeed

Truespeed’s Full Fibre tiers run from 150Mbps to 900Mbps, with matching upload and download speeds on the packages shown. The phone line is optional, so you don’t need to take it with your broadband.

Wessex Internet

Wessex Internet’s Full Fibre range includes Lite at 100Mbps and 250, 500 and 900Mbps packages. Lite has a 100GB monthly data allowance, while the higher tiers are unlimited, so check the allowance as well as the speed when comparing them. The network focuses on rural parts of southern England, and you don’t need to add its separate home-phone service.

Wildanet

Wildanet offers Full Fibre tiers from 100Mbps to 2Gbps, including 1Gbps. Some packages have matching upload and download speeds. That makes its top tier comparable on headline speed with Connexin’s 2.5Gbps option, while B4RN’s 10Gbps service sits higher still. Phoneline+ is optional.

WightFibre

WightFibre’s Full Fibre packages on the Isle of Wight span 150Mbps to 900Mbps, with equal upload and download speeds. Home phone is optional, but the 900 All In package bundles phone and television. If you don’t want those services, choose the standard broadband tier.

Voneus

Voneus’s 500Mbps and 900Mbps fibre packages can be taken without Digital Home Phone, which is an add-on on those tiers. Its 250 Plus package includes a phone service, so it isn’t included among the broadband-only options here.

Which broadband types need a phone line?

The connection to your home matters more than the word “Fibre” in a package name. Check the technology available at your address before you order.

ADSL and older copper broadband

ADSL carries broadband over a traditional copper phone line. A provider may sell a broadband-only package with no calls, but the copper line is still part of the connection. The service also depends on the exchange and the length and condition of the line.

FTTC and SOGEA

FTTC stands for Fibre to the Cabinet. Fibre runs to a street cabinet, then broadband travels over copper from there to your property. With SOGEA, that copper connection carries broadband without an associated phone service. It’s a practical way to keep an FTTC connection if you don’t need calls, but it isn’t Full Fibre.

Openreach’s PSTN switch-off concerns the old analogue phone network. It doesn’t mean every copper broadband connection will stop working on 31 January 2027. Openreach says some broadband connections may need a migration or replacement, while it will protect linked broadband where technically possible. Check your provider’s instructions if you still use a copper-based service or equipment connected to the phone line.

Full Fibre, cable and wireless broadband

Full Fibre, also called FTTP, uses fibre all the way to your property, so it doesn’t rely on a copper phone line. Virgin Media’s cable network also provides broadband without requiring a traditional phone line. 4G and 5G routers connect over a mobile network, while satellite broadband uses a dish. These options can all provide internet without a copper telephone connection, but availability depends on your address and the provider’s network.

Is broadband without a landline cheaper?

Not necessarily. Ofcom says broadband-only packages generally don’t cost less than a package that includes broadband and a phone service.

Ofcom explains that line rental pays towards maintaining the line that carries services. Since 2016, providers have had to advertise the inclusive cost of broadband and line rental, rather than separating them in the headline price. That means “no phone service” doesn’t automatically remove a separate charge from your bill.

Don’t compare only the monthly headline price. Check the minimum term, setup or installation charges, scheduled price changes and what you’ll pay after the contract ends. Also check whether calls or a home-phone number are included.

What happens to your home-phone number?

If you’re giving up a landline service, decide what you want to happen to the number before you place an order. You may be able to keep it by moving it to a digital phone service, but availability and porting rules depend on your current and new providers. Ask your chosen provider whether they can transfer the number and when to arrange it. Don’t cancel the old phone service until they confirm the transfer plan.

If you’re switching broadband, the new provider normally manages a One Touch Switch between participating UK providers. Read our One Touch Switch broadband guide for the steps and what to expect from the old service.

What to check before ordering broadband-only

• Check whether it’s FTTP, cable, FTTC/SOGEA, 4G, 5G or satellite.
• See whether the package includes a home-phone number, calls or digital voice.
• Find out whether you can keep it and when the number needs to transfer.
• Power and outages. Digital phone services need a powered router. Keep a mobile phone available for emergency calls if your broadband or power fails.
• Alarms and telecare. Check with the equipment provider before changing or cancelling a copper phone service. Some devices need an adapter or alternative connection.
• Compare the full minimum-term cost, setup, scheduled increases and post-term price.
• Installation. Full Fibre might need an engineer visit and a new fibre entry point. Mobile broadband usually uses a self-install router, while satellite needs a dish and clear placement.
