Do i need a landline for Sky Ultrafast Plus (ROI)??

Hi,

I've just moved into a flat there doesn't seem to be any ports for a landline. Do I have to have a landline with Sky Ultrafast Plus (ROI)?!? Any help gratefully appreciated please!

@Luke+pp  You will find that if you have something like what is pictured below in your property. Your phone will plug into the back of your router and no need for a phone socket.

@Luke+pp to get Ultrafast in Ireland your flat must have access to eir's fibre network which Sky use rather than a copper phone line. You can check availability here https://www.sky.com/ie/nbi. If a ONT unit is not in your flat already but fibre is laid to the block then one should be able to be fitted subject to the landlord's consent.

Hi highlander,

No there doesn't seem to be one of these either in the flat. I belive the person in the flat was elderly and didn't have use for either when they lived there. Any other ideas what you would do in this situation?

 

Regards

@Luke+pp 

All terrestrial broadband requires a 'line' (data bearer cable)

In the absence of that you're looking at cellular broadband (3/4/5G)

@Luke+pp  Follow the link that @Chrisee posted to see if fibre is available at your property.
