Yes – broadband without a phone line is possible, subject to availability at your address.
Many UK homes can now access Broadband Only services that do not require a traditional landline. Availability depends on the type of network serving your property.

Most standard fibre services in the UK are FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet).
With FTTC:
Fibre runs from the exchange to the street cabinet
The final connection to your home uses existing copper phone lines
A phone line and number are automatically activated
Even if you never plug in a handset, line rental is still included in the broadband price because the copper phone network is being used.
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) is a newer type of Broadband Only service.
It delivers fibre broadband without a landline or phone number.
In simple terms:
The copper wire is still used for data
The phone service is completely separated
You are no longer charged for a phone line you don’t need
SOGEA is already available in many areas across the UK, but coverage is not yet nationwide.
👉 Contact us to check SOGEA availability at your address.
✔ No phone line required – perfect if you only use mobiles ✔ More reliable connection – no voice traffic on the line ✔ Slightly faster speeds compared to traditional FTTC ✔ Quicker fault resolution in many cases ✔ Cleaner, simpler setup with fewer services attached
⚠ No landline service – not suitable if you rely on a home phone ⚠ Alarm or care systems may require a phone line ⚠ You may lose your existing phone number (talk to us if you need to keep it) ⚠ Not always cheaper – the copper network is still maintained
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) is the most advanced broadband technology available.
Unlike FTTC or SOGEA, FTTP uses 100% fibre optic cables all the way from the exchange directly into your home.
It’s also known as:
Full Fibre Broadband
Ultrafast Broadband
FTTP can deliver speeds of up to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps).
✔ No phone line needed ✔ Fastest broadband speeds available ✔ Extremely reliable – no copper interference ✔ Future-proof technology ✔ Best value for performance compared to older services
✖ Availability is still limited in some areas
If you don’t need a phone line, FTTP has virtually no downsides.
SOGEA – ideal if FTTP isn’t available yet
FTTP – best choice where available
📍 Availability depends on your address, not just your area.
