DITCH YOUR LANDLINE: SAVE MONEY AND GET FASTER BROADBAND
Not so long ago, living without a landline was like cutting yourself off from the world. Relying exclusively on a mobile was impractical, because calls were expensive and some companies (and people) would only communicate with residential numbers. More importantly, for web users, a landline was essential for ‘logging on’ to the internet. Nowadays, thanks to the widespread availability of Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G, it’s easy to get online virtually anywhere. A home phone has become not only optional but unnecessary, and more likely to leave you open to cold callers and scammers. So why are broadband users still forced to pay a ‘landline tax’ just to get online? In this feature, we explain how you can do away with your traditional phone line, yet still enjoy speedy and
reliable internet access around your home.
