What is broadband-only?

Broadband-only is a broadband deal without a call plan or a digital TV service.

Many broadband providers in Ireland require a phone line to deliver your broadband service, so may offer a call package as part of the broadband deal.

However, most don’t require you to pay for a call plan if you don’t need it.

What connection do you need for broadband only?

There are several ways you can get a broadband-only plan, depending on your location.

  • Full fibre broadband uses fibre-optic cables which deliver broadband directly to your home, so there is no need for a phone line. It is the fastest type of fibre connection with speeds of up to 2,000Mbps.
  • Part fibre broadband: Many broadband connections in Ireland are Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC), also known as part-fibre, which means the majority of your connection is fibre optic, but it’s brought into your home by older copper cables (phone lines).
  • 4G and 5G mobile broadband uses your mobile phone signal to connect to the internet. It can be less reliable and speedy than a wired internet connection, but it’s landline-free. You need a USB dongle, a SIM card or modem to get online.
  • Satellite is ideal for rural areas where broadband cables have not been laid. The broadband signal is beamed from a satellite to a dish fitted to your home.

Can you get broadband-only without a phone line?

Some broadband only plans need an active phone line to deliver standard or part fibre broadband. Broadband providers charge for this line rental, but the cost is bundled with the price of your monthly contract.

However, you can get broadband without a landline. The choice of broadband plans may be limited if you don’t live in a full fibre area, but as 5G mobile broadband is becoming more widely available, it’s a good option for some.

Is broadband-only cheaper?

Pick a broadband-only plan if you rarely use your home phone for calls or don’t need a TV package.

Some broadband providers offer a phone service with broadband as part of the price; for others, a call plan may cost extra.

However, a broadband and home phone plan often comes with features like free off-peak calls, voicemail and caller display, so if you use your landline for regular calls, it might be cheaper to combine broadband with a call plan.

Consider a broadband and TV package to save money if you stream lots of movies or watch live sports regularly.
