We don't watch TV so not…

Virgin Rant
A 12 month deal with Virgin has just expired for broadband, £20 for 30mb. Fair enough, they now want £30. Back in March the 30mb was supposed to double to 60mb but this has never happened.

Why do I need a landline?
I'm looking around at internet providers and keeping being told I have to have a landline, could someone advise if this is true and if so why? I thought the ays of internet via the phone line had gone. Is it just a way of keeping £120+ a year of my money? I don't use a landline anymore due to the mobile era! Thanks
