can i get broadband without a bt line or is that required

thanks
DUNCAN cowanThe sarky answer would be, "Yes, I live in France/Canada/New Zealand/The Phillipines and I haven't got a BT (British Telecom) fixed telephone line but I can get broadband".

I happen to know that "bt" means British Telecom, but not everybody on here will! This is not a UK-only forum.

As it happens, I live in Bristol, and I have Virginmedia cable broadband. If you live in a FORMER Telewest or NTL area you can get their cable internet service which is pretty good value.

See if your area is covered here

sorry i forgot.  Thanks for the reply it was for a friend who doesnt have a bt line and so i just copied down his question without thinking.

Thanks
Duncan CowanSome mobile phone companies e.g. Vodaphone are offering a wireless broadband service now, where you don't need a landline at all.

But it's pricey
