Any companies do just internet anymore?

I'll be moving out soon (splitting up with OH) I don't need tv or a landline phone, but I am a heavy internet user, primarily gaming and streaming videos.

I've done a few comparisons but all the companies seem to insist on you signing up for phone as well (at around £12-15 a month)

Anyone know an internet only company? That's not extortionate, and who's supply will be enough for non-laggy raiding!

Thanks guys

I believe virgin media do, if you're in an area they serve.

The other obvious option is buying a mobile phone dongle, but the speeds will be slower unless you're in a 4G area.

Virgin Media is the only one that springs to my mind. I've just had a look and their broadband-only prices start from £21.50/month but that's an introductory price that only lasts 3 months before it goes up a fiver. It's a year-long contract.
To me that's pretty pricey for home broadband. Is there some reason you object to having a home phone - other than you won't use it? I only wanted broadband too, but I got a home phone bundled in for £13/month all in. That's a pretty big saving and you get the phone line thrown in. The Virgin service is probably faster but if it's just you using it that's not likely to be an issue. You have to decide if you're willing to pay that much more for the faster service.

A couple more things to think about:
- Creditors prefer you to use a landline number on applications as it suggests more stability. A mobile number could be changed at whim, meaning they might not be able to get hold of you.
- Landlines are much better than mobiles for calling 0800 numbers
- You don't HAVE to plug a phone in if you object to having one!

(Summary: it's possible but consider cheaper options that include phone)

Just consider it as part of the overall cost.

A lot of the comparison sites show internet for quite cheap (less than a tenner a month) then phone rental on top for around £15. I've not seen anything that low for both!!

And I don't think a dongle will handle playing online games

Do you know where you are moving to?

If we had the postcode I could be a lot more specific with what packages are available to you.

i.e. Virgin Fibre, BT Infinity, independant ISPs serving certain areas for high speed / fibre internet etc..

Not sure yet, I'm in Plymouth, hoping to stay around the PL4 area, but still looking for a flat
