If you’re like a lot of Spanish households, you’d probably rarely use your landline. A large number of broadband customers are still paying for a landline just because they think they need to. Before addressing this article in depth with the different options and advantages of the available services, I would like to remind you of the previous blog that we have published on the same subject.
Can I get broadband without a landline?
Yes, it is totally possible to have Internet at home without a landline.
Internet without landline? This means you can get internet access without a land line. As we use the internet more, people are using their home phone lines.
The for ways you can access broadband in Spain are ADSL, fibre-optic, cable network, 4G mobile broadband.
Each of these connections have their own benefits and downsides, and some have more limited availability than others if you want to get broadband without line rental.
ADSL
Less and less available in Spain, only in those places where fiber has not arrived at the moment. It’s delivered exclusively via copper phone line network, so you’ll need a landline in order to access the internet on this connection, even if you don’t want or need one for calls.
If ADSL is the only type of broadband available at your property, then it looks like you’ll need to keep paying for line rental and service charges in order to maintain access to your broadband.
Broadband fiber
It may actually work out to be cheaper to upgrade to a fiber broadband connection if you’ve been on your ADSL.
But even if you do upgrade to fiber, most of these connections will also require a landline to work.
So how can I get home internet without a phone line?
Your best bet if you want to get broadband without landline rental is to consider mobile broadband. With 4G essentially becoming the standard mobile connection in most areas, and 5G rolling out to an increasing number of locations, mobile broadband has a very wide amount of coverage and is getting faster than ever.
A 5G mobile broadband hub could legitimately compete with some ultrafast fixed-broadband speeds, so it may be a great alternative if you don’t want to keep paying for a landline you never use.
It’s mainly designed for people in remote areas who can’t access a fixed-line connection or a good mobile signal. If you’ve exhausted all other routes, it could be a viable option.
Internet without landline alternatives
If you have access to either full fibre broadband, cable broadband or 4G/5G mobile broadband, you could say goodbye to your traditional landline and still access great broadband speeds. So here are some pros and cons of each:
Dongle Wi-Fi and mobile broadband
If you’re set on getting broadband without a landline, then mobile broadband may be a good solution. Mobile broadband that runs on a 4G network will have average speeds of 24Mbps, which would be enough for basic online activities like email, Facebook, video calling and a bit of streaming.
Mobile broadband is a very flexible option, since it can provide you with broadband without a phone line and no contract, and it gives you access to your internet connection wherever you are.

Why pay for a landline if you never use it?. Is broadband without a phone cheaper?
