Broadband Only Deals
Broadband only packages are usually defined as standalone deals that aren't bundled with other services such as TV and phone. These deals are great for those who don't require anything more than access to the internet.
These deals are often cheaper than other broadband packages on the market and thus, they can be a big help to customers who are on a tight budget as well as those who are just looking to save on services that don't serve them any purpose. Broadband only deals are also a simpler option for customers to understand as you'll always be sure exactly what you're being charged for each month.
Although a 'broadband only' deal sounds quite self-explanatory, different internet speed providers have their respective definitions of what this type of package involves.
Here are some key terms to consider when searching for broadband only deals:
Broadband only
These are internet-only packages where you only pay the provider for broadband, but an active phone line is still required. This gives you the freedom to choose a different phone company.
Broadband and phone deals
The most common type of home broadband package is broadband with a phone line, where you pay a single provider for both broadband service and phone line rental.
This may not be what some of you are after when searching for broadband only, but this is generally the best choice if you're looking at just broadband deals without extras such as TV.
These deals are available without inclusive calls, and this is the cheapest option if you only have a phone line for broadband. If you use the phone regularly, you should get an inclusive call bundle as this will significantly reduce the overall cost.
Broadband without a phone line
These are broadband only services that do not include a telephone service and do not require an active phone line to function.
Most broadband providers still require an active telephone line, so these aren't the most common packages around - BT Broadband and Virgin Media are the biggest providers offering this currently.
You can also get broadband without a phone using fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP, also known as full fibre). This is offered by specialists such as Community Fibre and Hyperoptic, as well as some of the UK's household names like BT, Vodafone, Sky, and TalkTalk.
Also, you'll have to bear in mind that almost all deals still require some kind of line; if you want broadband without any line at all, you'll have to look at a wireless broadband service instead. This type of deal connects you to the internet using a 3G, 4G or 5G mobile network through the use of a data-only SIM card. This SIM card will not allow you to make calls nor will it allow you to send text messages and in order for it to work effectively, a strong mobile phone connection is required.
Providers That Offer Broadband Only Packages
Most ISPs (Internet Speed Providers) offer broadband only deals, without TV, landline phone calls or mobile phone provision included.
Here's a run down of what the major UK providers offer in terms of broadband only deals:
Sky broadband - Sky offers its broadband with pay-as-you-go (PAYG) calls, so technically there is a landline included - and hence line rental is in there too. Therefore it may not fit your definition as a 'true' broadband only service.
Virgin Media broadband - Virgin offers all four of its fibre speeds (averaging 108Mbps, 213Mbps, 362Mbps and 516Mbps) as a 'true' broadband only deal, with no landline phone connection at all.
BT broadband - BT has started to offer all of its broadband packages as 'true' broadband only without phone calls or a landline.
EE broadband - EE offers broadband speeds of between 10Mbps for standard and 67Mbps for fibre broadband. All of its fibre optic deals are available without a landline or call packages.
Plusnet broadband - Plusnet provides a wide range of internet only deals including PAYG calls with speeds that range from the standard ADSL 10Mbps to fibre optic packages with download speeds of 66Mbps.
TalkTalk broadband - They will allow you to take any of its broadband packages with PAYG calls only - but of course a landline will still need to be installed in the unlikely event of you not having one.
Vodafone broadband - Vodafone offers fibre broadband internet only deals with speeds between 35Mbps and 63Mbps. With Vodafone, pay-as-you-go calls are included, so it may not be classed as a 'true' broadband only package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Could a bundle deal be a better option?
Bundling TV with broadband (and phone) packages can be a great way to save money, provided you actually need the TV service. It is often cheaper to get your broadband, home phone, and TV services from the same provider - although this is not always the case.
Is it possible to get broadband without a phone line rental?
Most broadband services require a phone line to function. There are some broadband deals that don't need a phone line, but these options are a little more limited.
The biggest names to offer broadband without line rental are BT Broadband and Virgin Media. They both still require a fixed-line, but you can get broadband without the ability to make phone calls.
Full-fibre (FTTP) services whether from major providers or from smaller networks, like Hyperoptic, can also provide customers broadband without phone line rental. However, this is still a new technology and relatively few homes in the UK can get it at the moment. By December 2026, Openreach aims to provide 25 million homes with full fibre technology and will continue to add more locations over time.
Is saving money a guarantee with a broadband only deal?
Whether you'll save money or not when on a broadband only deal depends heavily on the situation that you find yourself in:
- If you frequently make calls using your landline, it's likely that including a free calls package with your broadband will end up being cheaper than paying the network rate everytime you make a phone call.
- Although not always the case, broadband deals that don't include a calls package sometimes turn out to be cheaper than equivalents that have a free calls package included.
- Virgin Media and BT broadband deals without a phone line may still be more expensive than packages from other providers who still offer broadband through a phone line.
- One absolute positive is that broadband deals that don't include a TV deal will save you money more often than not when compared to a broadband package that comes with a TV deal.
Who offers the cheapest broadband only deals?
EE offers fibre broadband without a landline for around u00a3329 a month, with a 24 month plan, at speeds of 36Mbps. BT's broadband-only fibre deals have similar speeds which cost, at the time of writing, u00a3325.99 a month as its on a time-limited sale. Virgin Media boasts faster speeds than both EE and BT, but unfortunately comes with a higher price tag to match.
We'd suggest keeping your eyes peeled for time-limited sales, similar to the one at BT, that'll bring down the monthly cost of your broadband. Another example of a time-limited sale is Hyperoptic's discounts on its 24-month and 12-month contracts, bringing the cost of its cheapest deal to u00a3320 a month.
