*Average speeds are based on the download speeds of at least 50% of customers at peak time (8pm to 10pm). Speed can be affected by a range of technical and environmental factors. The speed you receive where you live may be lower than that listed above. You can check the estimated speed to your property prior to purchasing.

Fibre/cable services at your postcode are subject to availability. You can confirm availability on the provider's website.

Some broadband providers may increase monthly prices each year during your contract. Please refer to individual broadband provider's terms and conditions before signing up.

What are 'broadband only' deals?

“Broadband only” means getting the internet into your home without relying on a landline. That means either opting for Virgin Media’s ultrafast service, which uses its own cables to reach your home, or going for a full fibre broadband deal, also known as fibre to the premises (FTTP).

These options do not require a traditional landline, like ADSL or standard fibre broadband, which uses copper wires from your nearest street cabinet to complete the journey into your property. Sadly, if you want one of these deals, you’ll still need a landline. The good news is that you can choose deals that do not have a phone package attached, meaning you don’t have to pay for calls.

If you want a phone deal, then you should look into bundling your broadband with a phone package. And to save further, check out broadband and TV deals and triple-play bundles, too. Great if you love watching lots of movies or live sport - and it's generally cheaper to combine your services, rather than buying each as a standalone service, with average savings falling between 17 and 34% according to the Ofcom Pricing Trends Report 2023.

Is it cheaper to get a broadband-only deal?

According to the same Ofcom Report, on average, a standalone fixed broadband service is 15% cheaper than bundled services, with the average saving figure at £5.43 per month.

Plus, 52% of households with a landline service bundled with their broadband did not make an outgoing call in Q2 2023 - so consider if you really need that call time, because you might be paying for nothing.

Beyond broadband-only tariffs, there are other ways to bring your monthly broadband cost down, including:

  • Committing to a longer contract: many providers offer discounts if you pay upfront for your line rental or commit to a longer broadband contract

  • Sacrificing speed: the fastest internet connection will usually be the most expensive. If speed isn’t a priority for you, you might find yourself with a cheaper monthly bill

  • Bundling bills together: some providers will offer a cheaper package deal if you bundle several monthly bills together. Providers like BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media can offer a single monthly bill that will cover some or all of your TV, broadband, landline and your mobile phone

How can I get broadband without a landline?

Most broadband providers require you to have a working landline in order to get hooked up to the internet. This is why you will generally be subject to a line rental cost as well as the cost of the internet connection.

However, there are some providers that don’t require you to have a landline.

Virgin Media has packages that don’t require a phone line. This is because it has its own cable network, meaning it doesn’t have to rely on phone lines. Around 53% of the UK is covered by Virgin Media, so you should check that you live in an area with good Virgin Media coverage before you start trying to switch.

Providers building their own networks, like full fibre broadband providers, also sell broadband only packages.

How to compare and switch broadband

There are three simple steps to compare broadband deals and switch providers

  • Check you're out of contract

    Ensure you're no longer within the minimum terms of the contract length with your current broadband provider. You can find out by looking at your original contract, confirmation email, or by contacting their customer service.

  • Enter your postcode and choose a personalised bundle

    We algorithmically sort broadband packages based on your location, the speed you'd get, and how much it costs.

  • Complete your switch

    Your new provider should contact your current provider and arrange the switch for you. And you'll receive letters and emails updating you on this.

What broadband speed do I need?

Whether you're looking for a cheap and cheerful connection or high-spec ultrafast full fibre broadband, there's a deal for everyone. Finding the best deals for you starts with understanding how you plan to use it or if bundling your services lowers your monthly bill.

  • Icon of a house

    I like to browse and send emails

    Up to 15Mbps: This is ideal if you live alone or just with one other person, and you use the internet for basic use like browsing, social media and emails. Opt for standard ASDL deal and save money for choosing the cheapest option, and if you don't need a landline, a broadband only deal can save you money.

  • icon of a house

    I work from home, or have a large household

    30-60Mbps: A household of four or more users will need a superfast connection, especially if they have multiple devices. A fibre broadband connection with speeds over 30Mbps should be robust enough to handle multiple users, from streaming Netflix to making video calls.

  • Icon of smart watch

    I like to game, stream in 4K, or use smart devices

    Up to 500Mbps: Gamers need great upload speeds to minimise lag, and if you've got a lot of smart devices in your home that bandwidth can add up fast. Our curated broadband for gamers deals takes these requirements into account.

  • Icon of broadband router

    I feel the need for serious speed

    Up to 1Gbps (1,000Mbps): If you want buttery smooth buffering and more bandwidth than you could ask for, gigabit broadband delivers. These come at a premium, but the ultrafast download speeds let you download files quickly, stream without interruption, and use lots of devices at once.

How to get a better broadband deal

Whether you're looking for cheap and cheerful or high-spec full fibre broadband, everyone's needs are different. Finding the best deal for you starts with understanding how you plan to use it or if bundling your services lower your monthly bill.

  • Are you still within your contract?

    If you're still in your minimum term, you'd be subject to an early repayment charge if you ended your contract early.

    If you're out of contract or approaching the end, you can switch without penality.

  • Can you get a better deal for the same price?

    A tariff may offer everything you're looking for, but does it come to the right monthly price and offer good value for money? Shop around to find the right tariff at the best possible price.

  • Can you get any bundles, freebies, or cashback?

    Many providers offer tempting incentives, such as cashback or gift cards to new customers. These may help bring down the cost of an expensive broadband deal, although you should also consider whether these gifts are as important as factors such as speed and cost.

Can you just pay for broadband?

Yes. If you want to take out a deal for just a broadband service instead of bundling it with a phone plan or a TV package, that’s no problem. Just remember that if you take out an ADSL or standard fibre plan you will need a landline, with part of your bill covering the cost of line rental. Some providers will give you pay as you go calls on a landline as standard, but you do not have to use your home phone if you don’t wish.

Does Sky offer broadband only?

Yes. You can get Sky’s Ultrafast FTTP services as broadband only, as long as you live in an area where full fibre broadband has been installed. The good news is that you can take its cheaper, Superfast fibre as a broadband only deal too, meaning you don’t have to pay for phone calls.

With the latter, you will still need a landline, as this is required to complete the final leg into your home. The cost is lower overall, however, making it an excellent option.

Is the UK phasing out landlines?

Openreach is planning to phase out analogue landlines by late 2025. Known as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), it will be turned off in favour of a new Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, with calls made over the internet.

You’ll still be able to have a landline, but the new service means you’ll be able to make calls using your landline number on smartphone apps, PCs and tablets. For those wedded to their analogue phone, new adapters will be available to help them work as VoIP devices over a basic broadband service.
