Here's what you can get at your home
What to consider when picking a broadband deal?
Availability
You’ll need to check your postcode to find out if we’re available in your area. When you’ve seen how fast you can go and what broadband deals you can get, you’ll be ready to start comparing our offers.
Internet speed
Choose a broadband only deal that will give you the internet speed you need. You could look into:
- M125 Fibre Broadband, if you have up to 9 devices.
- M250 Fibre Broadband and above, if you have 10 or more devices.
- M350 Fibre Broadband and faster speeds, made for online gaming and busy, gadget-filled homes.
Learn about our speeds, for help if you’re not sure how fast you really need to go.
Data allowance
All of our broadband deals let you make unlimited downloads. There’s no monthly broadband data allowance for you to worry about – whereas, on some other networks, if it this were to run out, you may need to decide between paying extra charges to use the internet or staying offline until the allowance refreshes at the end of the month.
Cost
Check that the monthly price of the broadband only plan is within your budget. And make sure you understand any one-off costs, such as a setup fee or delivery charges, so you don’t get any surprises. You can tap ‘Plan details’ to find out more about each of our broadband only deals.
Bundles
Our broadband and TV deals are often cheaper than getting broadband on its own. Why not see if having TV with your broadband can help you save each month, before you commit to having a broadband only deal?
Contract length
Consider how long you can commit to signing up for. Our longer 24-month contract broadband only deals may offer better value than the 18-month option, while our shorter rolling-contracts may offer more flexibility.

What does broadband only mean?
These broadband only deals offer a superfast, reliable connection to the internet without the need to take a home phone service. Sometimes called WiFi without phone or internet without phone line, these deals let you avoid the cost of a landline that may not necessarily be used.
How does no landline broadband work?
Sign up to the deal that’s right for you and you’ll soon have our broadband on its own. Our WiFi Hub will provide you with superfast internet connection without needing a home phone line or service.
FAQs
No, phone lines aren’t necessary, and you don’t pay line rental for any of our broadband only deals. Our broadband is supplied to your street through a fibre-optic cable for superfast speeds.
No need to go looking for a public phone booth when you can use these alternatives to a home phone.
Mobile phone
Open to a new deal? You can make and receive calls on O2 – while enjoying double mobile data and several more exclusive Volt benefits – with a broadband and SIM deal.
Online calls
Voice calls and video calls are a great way to keep in touch with loved ones over the internet. Whether you have a laptop, tablet, smartphone or even a smart speaker like the Amazon Echo or Google Home, our superfast broadband can connect you to Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp and other popular services.
You won’t need to cancel your current phone service or leave your provider to enjoy our superfast speeds with a broadband only deal.
No, you won’t be charged line rental for our broadband only deals. Line rental is a monthly fee for a telephone line:
- Broadband only deals don't include landline: You won’t be making or receiving calls using a telephone line, which is partly what line rental is charged for.
- We’re not the type of network that uses telephone lines to power our broadband only service. Some FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet) networks may charge line rental for their broadband only deals where a telephone line is used to connect your home to the rest of their network.
Yes, our broadband only deals are all fibre-optic and we offer an average download speed of 1,130Mbps. The only thing you will need to check is if you can get Virgin Media in your area, which you can do with our broadband postcode checker.
Yes, with Virgin Media you can also get unlimited broadband on its own.
As our broadband only deals don’t require a landline or phone line, you could even easily install the broadband yourself. If your home has an Internal Virgin Media wall socket, located in a convenient place, choose our QuickStart broadband installation when you place your order. If you currently don’t have a Virgin Media network connection, we’ll send out an engineer to get you set up.
It’s quick and easy to switch broadband providers and move to Virgin Media. There’s no need to tell your current provider or give them 30 days’ notice, and you can switch at any time to one of our best broadband deals though if you do so before your minimum term is up, you might be charged fees.
Simply choose your prefered bundle across all our broadband, tv and phone deals. Once chosen, you can start your broadband switch, firstly just check if you're eligible using our postcode checker. Then you’ll be asked to give us some details, including your current broadband provider, surname, address, account number and the services you want to switch. We’ll use these to find your account with your current provider. If we can’t do this, you’ll need to contact your current provider to check your details or disconnect from them yourself.
Your current provider will send you some important info, including details of any early disconnection fees, which you should read before you agree to switch broadband providers.
Using our switching service, your connection won’t be interrupted, and you won’t have to pay for two providers while we get things sorted.
To learn more, check out our video guide here.
This depends on the type of installation you need. Our QuickStart self-installation kit can arrive in just four days, while an engineer visit – where we might need to install cables – will take longer. It can also take up to 10 days to transfer your phone number across.
Once you decide to switch broadband providers, you’ll be offered the next available installation date when you place your order with us.
This'll depend on where you are in the process. You can place an order with us using our switching service, but you might need to get in touch with your current provider to make sure you won’t lose access to your services too early.
We offer a QuickStart kit that makes it easy to set things up yourself – it can be delivered to most homes or Click & Collect points.
If QuickStart isn’t available in your area, we’ll send out an engineer at no extra cost. If you can get a QuickStart kit but choose not to use it, you’ll need to pay £30 for an appointment.
And just so you know, our services always come with an activation fee of £35.
No, you can reschedule your installation worry-free – we'll take care of everything with your current provider and make sure you aren't left without services while you switch.
The best thing to do is switch your services before you move. Then, once you’re ready to move, just follow our steps in the link below .
Yes – in the unlikely event that something's not quite right, we'll automatically compensate you on your first bill in line with our compensation policy.
