Yes, you need a telephone line for DSL, but do not have to have a telephone service. You'll still need to pay the phone company for the line, but it is much cheaper. The bottom line - you do need to be connected.

Assuming you advise ADSL broadband (cable trivially promises broadband with out a telephone line), you want to have a actual telephone line into your position for the provider to artwork. even with the indisputable fact that the line would not desire to be extremely operational. This has been available the following (France) for 2 years now. There must be a land line in position, likely from a previous resident, that has been disconnected no more advantageous than 3 months before. once the broadband connection has been requested, the broadband business enterprise "builds" the relationship, i.e. installs the DSL kit in a separate room on the change appropriate to the copper cord popping out of your position. France Telecom are not too satisfied, yet are obliged by making use of regulation to conform. So, that's technically available. Now what's critical is for Ofcom to make it ensue interior the united kingdom too. i wager it is going to ensue, sometime.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Services from the phone company require a land line. Cable services may or may not require one. There are some services that use radio waves and some that use a satellite. You will have to check with each service to find out.

For DSL broadband, there has to be a wire to your house. Ditto for cable.
