Land lines necessary for broadband?

[jenfamily1]

I'm under contract until 2024 so can't change anything at the moment but wanted to ask you all how necessary is it these days to have a land line, whilst using a hub /router?

Can one still have the hub / internet access without the land line now that hardly anyone uses a land line to make calls? In the 'old days' one had to have a land line to also have broadband. One saves £20 a month on line rental charges plus £8ish for the any time calls package without this. This money can go towards the mobile contract.

Thank you all

Yes, you can, & with cable broadband like Virgin you have always been able to have Broadband only, as internet is delivered via a coaxial cable.

As to whether it would be cheaper without a landline. Possibly not. Contracts with landlines are heavily discounted, so don’t expect to save more than a few pounds a month, if anything at all from dropping the landline.

Hi @jenfamily1,

Welcome back to our Community Forums! Thank you for your post and for your query. We do offer broadband packages that do not include landlines, but as @nodrogd advised, broadband packages that include landline services are discounted and could result in a cheaper monthly price.

Unfortunately, we're unable to process package changes on this platform, so I would encourage you to reach out to our teams on 150/ 03454541111 or text us on 07533051809 to discuss your options when you're ready.

Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.

Thank you.
