Do I need a landline for broadband?
Not necessarily, no. Modern broadband connections transfer data over fibre optic cables, rather than phone lines, from your house to the nearest roadside telephone cabinet. It’s entirely possible to get broadband without a landline.
Which broadband, TV and phone provider is best?
It really depends on what you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to pay, but in our research we found Sky was best for broadband and TV, NOW was best for phone and Virgin Media was best all-round.
How much is broadband, TV and phone with Sky?
It depends on the package you choose, but we found good deals for around £40-£50 per month. That included line rental only, however, which meant call charges come at additional cost.
How much is broadband, TV and phone with BT?
Again it depends on the package you choose, but you can expect to pay between £40 and £60 per month for broadband, TV and phone with BT if you want half decent download speeds and TV coverage.
How is broadband speed measured?
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second (Mbps), which is the equivalent of miles per hour in your car – except it’s the amount of data you can download per second rather than the distance you can travel in an hour.
The national average download speed is 71Mbps, but the higher the number, the faster the broadband.
