1. Should I Choose A Broadband & Phone Deal?
In most cases the broadband signal and connection in your home is supplied via your home phone line, so there's little option but to go for a broadband and phone deal. Even if you are not going to use your landline phone, a combined broadband and phone line rental deal from one supplier is likely to be cheaper and simpler to manage.
Therefore, when considering a cheap broadband and phone package, the two things to get right are the likely broadband speed you will need and the phone package that suits your calling habits.
2. Which Providers Offer The Best Broadband & Phone Deals?
All broadband suppliers in the UK offer broadband and phone deals as a phone line is required to carry the broadband signal into your home. Pricing for these deals combine the broadband and phone line rental together, with pay as you use calls included as standard in many packages.
Home phone calling plans, like evening and weekend calls to UK landlines, anytime calls, mobile calls and international calls can be added to your package for an extra monthly cost.
As for which providers offer the best broadband and phone deals, that's hard to say as their prices and packages change so regularly. Our listings are updated daily to help you find a top broadband and phone deal to suit your needs.
It's worth bearing in mind that BT Broadband packages include weekend calls to UK landlines as standard, while John Lewis Broadband packages have inclusive evening and weekend calls. Post Office Broadband currently include 3 months FREE anytime calls to UK landlines, while NOW Broadband offer FREE anytime calls to UK landlines for as long as you remain a NOW Broadband customer.
If you are looking for a phone call plan that includes calls to mobiles, Plusnet Broadband offers this rather than charging you extra for a separate mobile plan.
3. What Broadband Speed Do I Need?
Broadband speed is measured in mega bytes per second (Mbps) with the higher the number signifying the faster the speed.
Average download speeds of 10-11Mbps are the cheapest (prices from £15.90p/m) and are delivered over copper wire telephone lines. Known as an ADSL connection, these are not the fastest speeds, but should enable you to watch catch-up TV without too much buffering.
Fibre broadband provides average download speeds of 35-38Mbps and is supplied via a combination of fibre optic cables to the telephone exchange and copper wire phone lines to each home. Perfect for busy internet households, you can easily watch catch up TV and play online video games at the same time. Prices for fibre broadband typically start from around £23 a month.
Superfast fibre broadband, sometimes referred to as Fibre Extra or Fibre Plus, deliver average download speeds of 57-67Mbps. With pricing from around £26 a month, superfast fibre speeds are suitable for more demanding internet households who want lag-free video gaming and the ability to download files and videos very quickly - while other household members watch catch-up TV.
4. Which Phone Call Package Will Suit Me Best?
This all depends on how you use your home phone and your mobile. Some people stopped using their home phone to make calls long ago and simply pay for broadband and line rental only, then use the minutes that come with their mobile phone tariff.
Only you can decide what you need, but at least it's relatively easy to compare as broadband and phone providers typically offer four types of home phone calling plans, which are:
Some providers will include a quota of call minutes to international landlines and mobiles within an anytime calling plan, while others prefer to offer these as an additional chargeable bolt-on so it's worth checking the detail and the international countries they cover.
5. Other Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Buy Broadband Without A Phone Line?
No. These so called 'broadband only deals' are a bit confusing as in reality providers mean broadband and phone line rental deals that don't include a home phone calling plan or a digital TV package. Virgin Media and Hyperoptic offer the closest form of broadband only, but these still require a line coming into your home and their prices are not any cheaper.
Can I Keep My Existing Phone Number When I Switch Providers?
Yes, the transfer of your existing phone number will be completed by your new provider
