Do You Need a Land Telephone Line If You Have Broadband With Sky?

A landline telephone is required for Sky broadband.

A landline telephone is required to use the Sky broadband service in the United Kingdom. It is also necessary to subscribe to a Sky satellite television service to sign up for its broadband package.

Background

Sky Broadband is a British Internet service based on DSL (digital subscriber line) technology. This technology uses an analog phone line to deliver the broadband Internet service.

Options

You can have Sky TV and Internet services set up alongside your existing British Telecom phone line, or, if it is available in your area, choose to move your phone line onto a Sky Talk package. Several combined packages are available, offering a single monthly cost for satellite television channels, broadband DSL Internet and voice calls.

Suggestion

It is best to spend some time researching the various combined deals. Ensure that you select a package offering sufficient Internet speed and downloads for your requirements. Details of all the current packages are available on the Sky website.
