Re: Do I need a landline for Broadband
Broadband and Talk (landline) are bundled together as a package, but you don't have to use the landline.
Providing you take the Pay as you Talk call package (I think it's the default) and don't make any calls, you won't be charged for the landline.

Re: Do I need a landline for Broadband
They are bundled together but there's no requirement to have an actual landline phone connected. Just make sure your tariff is Pay As You Talk meaning no calls = no costs.

Re: Do I need a landline for Broadband
'Landline' (as in voice telephony) is rapidly becoming an obsolete concept, but terrestrial broadband requires a data bearer cable, and it's the rental of that circuit which a substantial part of the monthly subscription pays for.
