What is broadband-only?

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

Broadband-only (also called internet-only) means you pay just for an internet connection, with a TV subscription and a bundled landline call plan.

These plans give you the router and data you need to stream, work from home, game, or browse, without paying for extras you don’t use.

Most modern broadband-only plans are available on full fibre (FTTH), part-fibre (FTTC), 5G/4G or satellite, and some providers will let you take the internet service on its own while others may include optional mobile phone add-ons.

Use our Eircode checker above to see which internet-only options are available where you live.

Why choose broadband-only?

If you don’t need a TV or home phone package, a broadband-only plan could be the simplest and most cost-effective way to get online. Here’s why many households are making the switch:

  • Lower monthly cost: you’re not paying for TV channels or unnecessary call minutes.
  • Simplicity: fewer services, fewer bills and easier account management.
  • Faster upgrades: full fibre and 5G plans often let you access higher speeds without legacy phone-line constraints.
  • Fewer hardware requirements: no set-top box for TV, and sometimes no phone socket needed.

Who is broadband-only best for?

Broadband-only plans suit lots of different lifestyles, from renters and students to remote workers and busy families.

Here are some of the people who benefit most:

  • Renters and students who want cheap, no-fuss internet.
  • Households that stream TV (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) and don’t need a pay-TV package.
  • Remote workers and freelancers who prioritise speed and reliability for video calls and cloud apps.
  • People who want to ditch the landline; either because they don’t use it, or because mobile/VoIP covers their calling needs.
  • Rural homes where fixed wireless, satellite or 5G provides a better landline-free option than older copper connections.

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 5 gigabits.
  • 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.

Is broadband-only cheaper?

Pick a broadband-only plan if you don’t need a TV package, landline or mobile plan.

Here’s what to consider:

  • Lower monthly bills: You’re paying only for internet, not for extra call minutes or TV channels.
  • Optional add-ons: Some providers include a landline automatically with part-fibre connections; check if this is bundled or optional. Some providers - like eir, Virgin Media, and Vodafone - also offer mobile plans too.
  • Bundled features vs cost: A combined broadband and landline or mobile plan could be cheaper in some cases. Some landline bundles also include free off-peak calls, voicemail, or caller ID.
  • TV streaming: If your household watches lots of Netflix, Disney+, or other streaming services rather than live telly, broadband-only may make more sense than a TV bundle.

Broadband-only is usually cheaper for users who only need fast internet. However, compare plans carefully - sometimes a bundle with TV can work out better if you watch lots of movies or watch live sports regularly.

Broadband-only vs Bundled plans

If you’re unsure whether to go with broadband-only or bundle with TV and calls, here’s a quick comparison to help you decide which option suits your lifestyle and budget.

Feature Broadband-only Broadband & TV  
Monthly cost Lower: pay only for internet Higher: includes TV and/or call plan  
Ideal for Streamers, remote workers, students, renters Families, sports fans, households that use watch live TV  
Setup Simpler: just the router and internet connection More complex: includes TV boxes, or additional equipment  
Flexibility More: can switch providers or upgrade internet speeds easily Less; tied to bundle contracts, more difficult to change components  

Can you get broadband-only without a landline phone?

Most broadband-only plans in Ireland are designed to work without a traditional landline, but it depends on your connection type and provider.

  • Part-fibre (FTTC) broadband often relies on an active phone line to deliver the service. Some providers include the line rental in your monthly price, while others charge separately.
  • Full fibre (FTTH) and 5G broadband do not require a landline, making them ideal if you want pure internet-only service.

If you don’t want a landline with your plan, check which connection types are available in your area using our Eircode checker.

Mobile broadband as a landline-free alternative

5G and 4G mobile broadband are becoming increasingly popular for homes that want internet-only service without a phone line:

  • Works via SIM card, modem, or USB dongle.
  • Speeds vary depending on coverage, but 5G can deliver superfast broadband in many urban and suburban areas.
  • Ideal for renters, students, or rural homes where fixed-line options are limited.

Providers like eir, Virgin Media, and Vodafone also let you bundle optional mobile phone plans with your broadband-only connection, giving flexibility without needing a landline.

Broadband-only FAQs

Can you get broadband without a phone line in Ireland?

Yes, you can get broadband without a landline in most areas, especially if you have access to full fibre (FTTH), 5G, or mobile broadband.

Some part-fibre (FTTC) connections still rely on a phone line, and providers may include the line rental in the price. If you want to avoid a landline completely, full fibre or 5G plans are your best option.

Is broadband-only cheaper than bundles?

Broadband-only plans are usually cheaper because you’re paying just for the internet; no TV subscription or landline calls.

However, if you use your home phone regularly, a broadband and a call bundle can sometimes be more cost-effective, especially if it includes free off-peak calls, voicemail, or caller ID.

Broadband-only is ideal if you stream online content, work from home, or don’t need TV channels.

Always compare plans in your area to make sure you’re getting the best value.

What’s the fastest broadband-only deal available?

The fastest broadband-only deals in Ireland are typically full fibre (FTTH) connections. These can deliver speeds of up to 5Gb, depending on the provider and your location. Other options like 5G mobile broadband can also provide very fast speeds - sometimes up to 500Mb - particularly in urban areas with strong coverage.

Use our Eircode checker to see which broadband-only plans are available in your area and compare their speeds.

Can you switch to broadband-only if you already have Sky or Virgin bundles?

Yes, most providers allow you to switch from a bundle to a broadband-only plan, but the process depends on your current contract:

  • Check your contract: Some bundled plans have a minimum term, and early termination may incur fees.
  • Compare broadband-only deals: Look for full fibre, part-fibre, or 5G options available in your area.
  • Contact your provider: Sky, Virgin Media, and other providers often let you downgrade to internet-only while keeping optional mobile or landline add-ons.

Switching can reduce your monthly cost and simplify your setup if you no longer need TV or a home phone.

Can you get broadband-only in rural Ireland?

Yes, broadband-only is available in many rural areas, but your options may be more limited than in urban locations.

  • Full fibre (FTTH): Still being rolled out in rural areas via NBI or SIRO, but coverage is growing.
  • Part-fibre (FTTC): May be available in villages or towns near fibre cabinets, sometimes requiring a phone line.
  • 5G / 4G mobile broadband: A flexible, landline-free option that works well in rural locations.
  • Satellite broadband: Ideal where no fibre or copper connections exist.
  • Use our Eircode checker to see which broadband-only plans are available at your address.

Do broadband-only plans include mobile add-ons?

Some providers offer optional mobile plans alongside broadband-only connections. This means you can keep your internet-only plan and add a mobile service if needed:

  • eir, Virgin Media, and Vodafone all allow you to combine broadband-only with mobile phone plans.
  • Adding mobile service is optional and increases your monthly cost, but can be convenient if you want all services from one provider.
  • If you don’t need mobile, you can keep your plan purely internet-only to save money.
  • Check your provider’s options to customise your plan based on your needs.
