We think Virgin Media's M125 fibre broadband only is the best all-round broadband deal if you can get it. Consistent average download speeds of 132Mbps is plenty for most households.
Sky Superfast is offered on an 18-month contract and comes with pay-as-you-go landline calls. 61Mbps is plenty for small households and will easily cope with HD and UHD streaming on multiple devices.
Sky Ultrafast will suit households with moderately intense internet use. It’s average speed of 145Mbps and speed guarantee of 100bps should provide bandwidth enough for most households.
BT’s Fibre 1 is one of their most popular fibre broadband deals. It provides average speeds of around 50Mbps, along with a 25Mbps Stay Fast Guarantee – that’s enough for many households.
Providing average speeds of 500Mbps, with a 400Mbps guarantee, this deal is great for households needing to stream UHD video, game online or join live meetings.
The second tier in Virgin Media’s selection of very fast fibre broadband deals, we reckon the 264Mb downloads will suit households where several people could be streaming or gaming at the same time.
Only mid-tier in their range, but still incredibly quick broadband with average downloads of 516Mbps (and a guaranteed to be least 258Mbps), we think this is all the speed most users would ever need.
Sky Superfast + WiFi Max brings you average speeds of 61Mbps, a minimum speed guarantee of 50Mbsp and all the benefits of Sky's WiFi Max add-on – which includes Sky's most powerful hub.
Broadband Superfast Fibre Plus from Shell Energy Broadband brings you average download speeds of 67Mbps, which should be enough for most moderate use, over a 12 month contract and at a very attractive price.
NOW Broadband's Super Fibre uses tried and tested Fibre-to-the-Cabinet technology to deliver speeds of around 63Mbps – that’s adequate for moderate home use. And it includes pay as you go landline calls.
Although a ‘broadband only deal’ sounds simple, providers have their own definitions of what this type of package includes and involves.
Broadband only, for example, could mean broadband with no landline phone line at all, broadband with a landline phone connection provided by another company, or broadband without a combined TV, landline phone call package, or mobile phone provision.
A broadband only deal is perfect if you don't make calls from your landline. Broadband only is also ideal if you don't want to bundle your subscription TV (such as Sky) or pay for separate TV services with another provider (like Netflix or Amazon Prime TV).
You'll also be paying less for services that you don’t want, giving you the cheapest broadband possible. You may still have to pay line rental for your landline connection, but not having a handset or call package means that you can avoid nuisance calls.

Generally, most types of broadband do require a landline connection to deliver an internet signal, so even if you don’t want to make calls with it, you’ll still need to have a phone line or landline installed. And that means paying line rental. This is because both 'standard' ADSL and the widely available fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) broadband require a landline to deliver services to your property.
However, there are several alternatives if you really want a broadband deal that doesn’t require a landline. The latest fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband that is being rapidly rolled out across the UK doesn't need a conventional landline at all. So we are now increasingly seeing fibre broadband packages without a landline. In fact, in some cases, you have to actively choose to add a landline if you want one. Virgin Media uses its own network and does not require a phone line to deliver its services. Hence it has always been able to offer broadband without a phone line, albeit bizarrely at extra cost than a broadband and phone plan.
Finally, there are also a number of smaller, full fibre internet providers such as Hyperoptic, Community Fibre and YouFibre, that offer internet access without a landline as standard.
Contrary to what you might think, it’s not always the case that you’ll save any money by opting for a landline-free broadband deal. And with the majority of broadband products, the cost of line rental is included in your overall monthly bill anyway.
Compare broadband only packages
A wide range of fibre broadband deals are available that don’t include phone calls. But some will still come with an actual phone line, even if the package doesn't include any telephone usage.
The advent of new ultrafast and gigafast broadband has meant that a landline is no longer automatically included in these packages. In fact, Openreach has announced that it will be switching off the old analogue phone network in 2025 and customers will instead be offered a digital phone line instead. For now, ultrafast packages of 145Mbps and more that operate over the Openreach network (used by BT, PLusnet, Vodafone, TalkTalk and Sky amongst others) do not come with a landline as standard, but you can choose to add one if you want.
Other, smaller fibre networks, such as Community Fibre based in London, YouFibre (which is currently rolling out its network across areas of the UK), community provider Gigaclear and London provider Hyperoptic all use exclusively pure fibre networks, which means all their packages are broadband only as standard.
