Can Broadband Work Without a Landline?
What’s the craic with landlines and broadband?
For many of us, that old phone gathering dust in the corner is more of a relic than a necessity. So, if you’re wondering whether you really need a landline to get broadband, here’s the good news: you don’t! Especially if you’re with BrawBand and using our Full Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) service, you can ditch that landline and save some pennies while you’re at it.
Let’s dive into how it works and why it’s a braw idea!
The old-school way of delivering broadband – through ADSL or FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) – needed a landline to get the internet into your home. That meant paying for line rental, even if the only calls you got were from telemarketers trying to sell you things you don’t need. But times have changed, and so has broadband.
Full Fibre to the Home (FTTH)
Enter FTTH, or as we like to call it, the future of broadband. With FTTH, the fibre optic cable runs directly from the exchange to your home – no messing about with copper wires or old phone lines. This means you get faster, more reliable internet, and best of all, you can wave goodbye to that useless old landline! Many of the copper wires date back to Victorian times – which, as you can imagine, is not so great for modern internet!
With BrawBand’s FTTH service, you don’t need a landline at all. Your internet connection is completely independent of the old phone network, so there’s no need to pay for line rental. It’s just pure, lightning-fast internet without any of the extra baggage. It’s like cutting the crusts off your sandwich – keeping only the good stuff.
You may sometimes hear people talking about FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) – this is the same thing as FTTH (Fibre to the Home)!
Why ditch the landline?
Be a smart guy and get rid of the landline. Why? For one, it saves your pennies, meaning you’ve got some extra cash to spend on some pints down the pub. It also means one less wire snaking around your home, and one less device to find a spot for. Because everyone these days is sooooo minimalist.
With FTTH, your broadband isn’t slowed down by copper wires or affected by the phone network. It’s straight-up fibre optic goodness, which means faster speeds, better reliability, and fewer connection drops.
No landline means no line rental, which means more money in your pocket and one less thing to worry about. Plus, with full fibre broadband, you’re getting the fastest, most reliable internet available – no strings (or wires) attached. See what we did there?
