A broadband bundle puts your broadband and at least one other service (a home phone, a TV package or a mobile plan) on one contract and one bill. It saves money only if you use everything in it and you compare the full cost of the contract, not the first month’s price.

This guide covers what each type of bundle costs, when a bundle beats buying separately, and how to compare and switch. Prices were checked on 31 October and 1 November 2026 at a sample UK address, with Virgin Media’s taken where its network reaches. Yours will depend on your postcode, rewards have end dates and prices change, so check the deal on the day you buy.

What a broadband bundle is and what you can add

UK providers sell broadband as the core product and offer add-ons on top: a home phone with call packages, a TV service, or a discount when you also take one of their mobile phones or SIM plans. The bundle is the combination. You pay one provider, usually on a 24-month contract, and the price rises at set points during that contract.

Short answers first, with links to the detailed guides.

Broadband and home phone

How much should you pay for broadband and a landline? In November 2026, new-customer broadband and phone deals started at £24 a month (Sky Full Fibre 150, 150Mbps) and ran to £38 for Sky’s 1.6Gbps full fibre. Vodafone’s own site lists broadband and landline from £23.50 a month. Those prices include the line but not unlimited calls. Add an anytime calls package and the price climbs: Sky’s Anytime Extra add-on costs £18 a month, which takes its cheapest phone deal to £42.

Broadband and landline prices, November 2026

Package typeTypical monthly price, November 2026Where the figure comes from
Broadband only, no home phonefrom £20.50Vodafone Full Fibre 150 £20.50, Plusnet Full Fibre 145 £21.99, BT Fibre 300 £26.99. Ofcom says standalone broadband typically costs about £7 a month less than broadband with a landline
Broadband with landline, calls paid by the minute£23.50 to £38Vodafone from £23.50; Sky from £24 (Full Fibre 150) to £38 (1.6Gbps)

Broadband with TV£28.99 to £35Virgin Media M125 + Flex £28.99; Sky Stream, Essential TV and Netflix bundles £35

Social tariff, if you claim certain benefits£10 to £24Office of Communications (Ofcom)

The other half of the answer is the gap between new-customer and renewal prices. New-customer prices are the ones in the table. Once a 24-month contract ends, you move onto the provider’s standard price, which is usually higher. Ofcom’s figures put that gap at £7 to £9 a month: in-contract customers spend that much less than the 28% of broadband customers who are out of contract.

Click To Compare Broadband Deals

Put a reminder in your calendar a month before your contract ends and compare again. Our guide to broadband and phone deals has the full shortlist.

What are the best broadband and phone deals? The best deal is the one with the lowest total over 24 months, including the April price rises and minus any reward, at a speed you need. The headline price alone will mislead you. For example, BT Fibre 500 and phone and Virgin Media Gig1 broadband and phone both start at £32.99 a month and both rise by £4 a month each spring, so both cost £895.76 over the contract. BT’s £135 reward (ending 12 November) brings its total down to £760.76, while Virgin Media’s Gig1 has no reward but gives you more than twice the speed (1,130Mbps against 500Mbps) and weekend calls. Which is better depends on whether you value the extra speed or the £135.

Which broadband providers still offer a landline? Most of the big names still do. Sky includes landline rental and pay-as-you-talk calls with all its broadband. Vodafone lets you choose a plan with or without a landline. EE sells a Digital Home Phone that runs over EE broadband with no line rental. BT and Virgin Media both sell broadband and phone deals. Plusnet has stopped: its packages are now broadband only. NOW does: its broadband, now “Powered by Sky”, includes line rental and Sky Talk pay-as-you-talk at £0 a month, with calls carried over the internet on full fibre. TalkTalk is now owned by BT: BT Group bought TalkTalk out of administration on 5 October 2026 for £400m, protecting about 2.5 million customers. TalkTalk still includes a landline on part-fibre broadband, but its Full Fibre is broadband only.

The landline itself is changing. In Ofcom’s words, “BT plans to retire its old landline network by 31 January 2027”, and GOV.UK says the move to digital landlines is expected to be complete by January 2027 for most customers. A digital landline still works like a normal phone, but it plugs into your router and needs mains power.

days until BT plans to retire its old copper landline network (31 January 2027, according to Ofcom).

Can you get broadband without a landline? Yes. Full fibre, cable and 4G or 5G home broadband need no phone line. Older fibre broadband that runs to a street cabinet (FTTC) and ADSL still use the copper phone line to your home, so line rental is often built into those prices even if you never make a call. See broadband without a landline for a provider-by-provider list.

Broadband and TV

A broadband and TV bundle adds a pay TV service, such as Sky’s Essential TV on a Sky Stream box or Virgin Media’s Flex, to your broadband. In November 2026, Sky Stream with Essential TV, Netflix and Full Fibre Gigafast cost £35 a month on 24 months, and Virgin Media M125 Broadband + Flex cost £28.99.

Ofcom’s February 2026 research found that pay TV bundled with broadband and a landline averaged £12 a month, down 23% in real terms. If most of what you watch is on streaming apps, though, you may not need a TV package at all.

Broadband and mobile or SIM only

Some providers knock money off your broadband, or add mobile data, if you also take one of their mobile plans. Vodafone, EE, Virgin Media O2 and Sky Mobile all market this kind of combination. EE One is the only one priced outright: 150Mbps full fibre plus an unlimited SIM from £41.99 a month. Virgin Media O2’s Volt gives perks instead of a discount, and Sky Mobile shows no broadband discount.

Vodafone markets combined broadband and mobile deals as Vodafone Together but didn’t publish a combined price we could check. The alternative is to keep broadband and mobile separate and pick a cheap SIM only deal: giffgaff’s 18-month SIM only plans start at £10 a month for 25GB.

Broadband only or a bundle: which is better value?

Should you choose broadband only or a bundle? A bundle is better value when you would buy the extra services anyway and the combined price beats buying them separately. Broadband only is better when you rarely use the landline, watch mostly on streaming apps you already pay for, or can get a cheaper mobile deal elsewhere.

Ofcom’s research, published on 26 February 2026, found that households that bundle save “from £26 to £48 a month” compared with buying the same services separately. That’s an average across the market, not a promise for your household, so test it against your own bills.

When a bundle saves money

  • You want pay TV or live sport. A TV package bought as part of a bundle is often cheaper than the same channels bought on their own, which is what the Ofcom figure on pay TV (£12 a month on average) reflects.
  • You need a landline anyway. Sky already includes line rental with its broadband, and Virgin Media’s phone deals include weekend calls, so a phone line may cost you little or nothing extra.
  • The bundle comes with a reward. In November 2026, BT’s broadband and phone deals carried rewards of £110 to £135, which come off the contract total.

When broadband only wins

  • You never use the landline. If a provider sells broadband without one, you avoid paying for a service you don’t use.
  • You stream instead of watching live TV. Netflix’s Standard with adverts plan costs £7.99 a month and NOW Entertainment costs £7.99, both without a long contract.
  • Your mobile deal is cheap already. A £10 SIM only plan may beat any discount a broadband provider offers for taking its mobile phones.

The full worked comparison, with totals over 24 months, is in our guide to choosing broadband only or a bundle.

What broadband and a phone line should cost

These were the main broadband and phone deals in November 2026, at a sample address, taken from MoneySavingExpert’s deal tables. Virgin Media’s prices apply only where its cable network reaches, which isn’t every postcode. Each 24-month total assumes a contract starting in November 2026: five months at the starting price, then the scheduled rises.

BT Broadband

Fast Reliable Nationwide Broadband

✅ Guaranteed minimum speeds up to 900 Mbps.

✅ Highly rated BT Smart Hub routers

✅ Great customer support with quick response rates.

BT and Virgin Media raise these prices by a fixed £4 a month each spring. Sky’s prices can change mid-contract by an amount it doesn’t set in advance, so its 24-month totals assume no rise. Expect to pay a few pounds a month more.

Under Ofcom rules, if a provider raises a price by an amount the contract doesn’t set out, it must give you at least 30 days’ notice and then 30 days to leave without an exit fee.

Community Fibre, which only covers London, appears in comparison tables as “150Mbps Fibre Broadband and Unlimited Calls” at £27 a month, rising to £30 in April 2027 and £33 in April 2028, £726 over 24 months. Despite the name, that listing includes no calls. Community Fibre’s own site prices it differently: 150Mbps broadband is £19 a month (£22 from April 2027, £25 from April 2028), and unlimited UK calls are an optional £12 a month extra carried over your broadband, so £31 a month with calls.

Those calls won’t work in a power cut or broadband failure. Check Community Fibre’s own price before you sign.

If you claim Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Jobseeker’s Allowance or Income Support, check social tariffs first. Ofcom says “current prices range from £10 to £24”, and some providers also accept Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance. BT and KCOM also offer cheaper voice-only landline tariffs. For many pensioners looking for a landline and broadband deal, this is the place to start.

For deal-by-deal detail, including inclusive call packages, read our broadband and phone deals guide.

Do you still need a landline? The digital switchover

The old copper phone network is being switched off. Ofcom says BT plans to retire its old landline network by 31 January 2027. Virgin Media O2 and KCOM plan to retire their old networks too, but have not set dates. You can keep a home phone and your number: it moves onto a digital line that runs through your broadband router.

What changes in practice:

  • Power cuts. A digital landline needs mains power and won’t work in a power cut unless it has a battery back-up. If you depend on your landline and have no working mobile or no signal, your provider must offer you a free back-up that lasts at least one hour. Some last up to seven hours.
  • Telecare and care alarms. If you or someone you look after uses a telecare or care alarm, tell your provider before the switch so it can check the alarm will keep working.
  • Your number. You can usually keep it on a digital line. Be careful if you drop the landline altogether: Plusnet warns that taking broadband without a landline disconnects the home phone and loses the number for good.

If you never use the landline, the switchover is a good moment to drop it. If you rely on it, check your back-up options before the switch. Both cases are covered in our guide to broadband without a landline.

Broadband and TV bundles

Sky, Virgin Media, BT, EE and NOW TV packages

The main broadband and TV bundles in November 2026, at a sample address (Virgin Media where its network reaches):

PackageSpeedMonthly pricePrice risesReward24-month total
Sky Stream, Essential TV, Netflix & Full Fibre Gigafast900Mbps£35variable, “hikes are likely each spring”£80£840
Sky Stream, Essential TV, Netflix & Full Fibre 7575Mbps£35variable£80£840
Virgin Media M125 Broadband + Flex132Mbps£28.99£32.99 from 1 Apr 2027, £36.99 from 1 Apr 2028none£799.76

Both Sky bundles cost the same £35, so the 900Mbps version gives you twelve times the speed of the 75Mbps one for no extra money. Sky’s totals again assume no mid-contract rise, which is unlikely. Sky’s Essential TV includes Netflix Standard with Ads (the £7.99 plan if bought direct) and discovery+.

Sky Broadband

Highly rated service Great Hardware

✅ Packages offering speeds up to 900 Mbps.

✅ Low latency for competitive gaming

✅ Great customer support with quick response rates.

For the other providers:

  • BT TV bundles: at the sample address, Entertainment TV + Netflix with Fibre 900 costs £43.99 a month without a phone line or £48.99 with one. Sport TV + Fibre 900 is £53.99 and Full Works TV + Netflix + Fibre 900 £112.99. Each rises £6 a month every 31 March: £4 for the broadband and £2 for the TV.
  • EE TV bundles: at the same address, Full Fibre 900Mb + Entertainment TV + Netflix costs £41.99 a month, with Sport TV £51.99 and with Full Works TV + Netflix £110.99, also rising £6 a month each 31 March.
  • NOW: NOW sells full fibre broadband, “Powered by Sky”, at £23 (Full Fibre 75), £25 (100) and £28 (300) a month on 24 months. Its TV memberships are sold separately: Entertainment £7.99 a month (or £4.99 a month for six months on the Saver plan, then £7.99), Cinema £9.99 and All Sky Sports £34.99. NOW broadband orders are now completed on Sky.com, and there’s no ready-made NOW broadband and TV bundle, so you build it yourself: Full Fibre 75 plus Entertainment is £30.99 a month.
  • TalkTalk: TalkTalk is now part of BT Group after BT bought it out of administration on 5 October 2026. TalkTalk TV can be added to both its part-fibre and Full Fibre broadband. TalkTalk’s TV bundles weren’t listed in the comparison tables at our sample address, so check its own site for prices.

If sport is the reason you want a bundle, compare the bundle against broadband plus NOW All Sky Sports at £34.99 a month. NOW memberships are priced month by month (apart from the six-month Saver plan), so they don’t tie you in the way a 24-month TV contract does.

Streaming instead of a TV package

A growing number of households skip pay TV and use streaming apps over their broadband. Netflix’s UK prices, checked on Netflix’s own help page on 31 October 2026, are £7.99 a month for Standard with adverts, £13.99 for Standard and £20.99 for Premium. Add NOW Entertainment at £7.99 and Freeview channels through an aerial, and many people get most of what a TV bundle offers without a 24-month commitment.

Streaming puts more load on your connection. Lighter users can usually manage on the entry-level full fibre tiers in the tables above, while a busy household streaming on several screens at once is where the faster 500Mbps and 900Mbps deals earn their price. Use broadband types explained to see what each connection can deliver.

Broadband and mobile bundles

Provider bundles (Vodafone Together, EE, Virgin Media O2, Sky Mobile)

Four of the biggest names sell both broadband and mobile plans, and each markets a combined deal: Vodafone (Vodafone Together), EE, Virgin Media O2 and Sky (Sky Mobile). Here’s what each offered in November 2026:

  • Vodafone: broadband and landline starts at £23.50 a month on 24 months, rising to £27 on 1 April 2027 and £30.50 on 1 April 2028. You can also choose a plan without a landline.
  • EE: its Digital Home Phone runs over EE broadband with no line rental, and it requires EE broadband. EE’s Digital Home Phone packs cost up to £5.73 a month (Pay Per Call), £9.18 (700 Minutes), £20.66 (Unlimited Minutes) or £25.24 (Unlimited Minutes & International), on a 30-day rolling basis (EE price guide, prices from 31 March 2026; some customers pay less).
  • EE One: 150Mbps EE Full Fibre plus an unlimited No Frills SIM costs from £41.99 a month plus a £30 activation fee, rising to £48.49 in March 2027 and £54.99 in March 2028. With Entertainment TV it’s from £58.99.
  • Virgin Media O2 (Volt): for households with Virgin Media broadband and O2 mobile, Volt boosts broadband to the next speed up (to 1Gbps), doubles data on every O2 Pay Monthly plan in the household and includes the WiFi Guarantee, otherwise £8 a month, at no extra cost.
  • Sky Mobile: Sky’s mobile page shows no discount for having Sky broadband.

None of them states a saving in pounds, so test any “bundle and save” claim against the two services bought separately.

Virgin Media Broadband

virgin Broadband Offers

Great Speed and Reliability

✅ You crave speed and reliability for streaming/gaming.

✅ Bundling TV/mobile saves you money (especially with Volt).

✅ Future-proofing matters (Gig1/Gig2).

When SIM only plus broadband only is cheaper

If you own your phone outright, SIM only is often the cheapest way to get mobile data. giffgaff’s 18-month SIM only plans cost £10 a month for 25GB, £12 for 50GB, £15 for 100GB and £25 for unlimited data, and giffgaff says plans bought before the end of 2026 have no mid-contract price rises.

To test it, take the cheapest broadband deal that suits you, add a SIM only plan, and compare the total with the provider’s combined offer. For example, Sky Full Fibre Gigafast at £29 plus giffgaff’s 25GB plan at £10 comes to £39 a month. A mobile bundle needs to beat that, after its own price rises, to be worth taking.

What bundles really cost over a contract

Headline price vs total contract cost

The monthly price in an advert is the starting price, not the price you pay for the whole contract. To compare fairly:

  1. Multiply the starting price by the months before the first rise.
  2. Add each later price multiplied by the months it applies.
  3. Add any set-up or activation fee.
  4. Take off any reward you will actually claim.

Compare the total over 24 months, including the April price rises, not the headline price.

A worked example shows why. Virgin Media’s M125 broadband and phone deal starts at £26.99 and looks cheaper than BT Fibre 300 & phone at £31.99. Over 24 months, Virgin Media M125 costs £751.76 and BT Fibre 300 costs £871.76. But BT’s £120 reward brings its total to £751.76, exactly the same, and BT gives you more than twice the speed (300Mbps against 132Mbps).

Virgin Media gives you weekend calls; BT charges 20p a minute. The headline gap of £5 a month disappears once you count the reward.

Interactive
Compare two deals over 24 months

Pick an example from this guide, or type in any two deals you are weighing up. The calculator adds every scheduled rise and takes off the reward.

Assumes a 24-month contract starting in November 2026, with each rise applying for 12 months. Sky’s mid-contract rises aren’t fixed in advance, so Sky examples assume no rise. Prices checked 31 October and 1 November 2026.

Mid-contract price rises in pounds and pence

BT and Virgin Media now set their rises as fixed amounts, so you can see the cost before you sign. On the deals above, each one adds £4 a month every spring. On a 24-month contract starting in November 2026, that works out as:

PeriodMonthsExtra per monthExtra in total
November 2026 to March 20275£0£0
April 2027 to March 202812£4£48
April 2028 to October 20287£8£56
Whole contract24£104

So BT Fibre 500 & phone, advertised at £32.99, costs £104 more over the contract than 24 times its headline price. Vodafone’s broadband and landline rises are smaller, at £3.50 a month each April.

Sky is different. Its prices can change during the contract by an amount that isn’t fixed in advance, and a rise each spring is likely. When you compare a Sky deal, assume the price will go up and leave headroom in your budget.

Leaving early usually means an early termination charge, so a cheaper deal elsewhere only helps near the end of your contract or once you’re out of it. Your provider must tell you 10 to 40 days before the end what you’ll pay afterwards and its best deals, and eligible customers can move to a social tariff without a penalty even mid-contract.

How to compare and switch bundles

Check what’s available at your postcode

The prices in this guide were checked at a sample address. Availability and price depend on your postcode, mainly on which networks reach your street: Openreach full fibre, Virgin Media’s cable network, or an alternative network such as Community Fibre in London.

Before you compare, enter your postcode on a provider’s site or on a comparison site to see which speeds and deals you can actually get. Ofcom’s broadband checker and Openreach’s full-fibre checker show which connection types reach your address.

Then check the basics for each shortlisted deal:

  • the speed you are likely to get at your address, in Mbps
  • the contract length and each scheduled price rise
  • whether a router is included and whether there is an upfront or delivery fee
  • the reward, how you claim it and when the offer ends
  • what calls are included if you want a home phone

Our guide to choosing the right broadband plan walks through picking a speed, and our UK broadband provider guides cover each provider in more detail.

One Touch Switch and Ofcom-accredited comparison sites

For most broadband switches you only need to contact the provider you are moving to. Under Ofcom’s One Touch Switch process, the new provider arranges the move and your old contract ends, so you don’t have to call your old provider to cancel. Ofcom says the process, launched in September 2024, has been used by over 2 million customers, and 18% of households switched internet provider last year, up from 14% in 2023.

Check any early termination fee before you agree a switch date. Our switching and installation guide explains what happens on the day.

Ofcom also accredits price comparison sites after an audit. For broadband, the accredited sites are broadbandchoices.co.uk, MoneySuperMarket.com, Broadband Genie and broadbanddeals.co.uk. MoneySavingExpert, whose deal tables we used for many of the prices here, isn’t on Ofcom’s list. Whichever site you use, compare on the same terms: the same speed band, the same contract length and the total over 24 months.

A bundle is worth having when you’d pay for every part of it anyway. Price each part separately, add up the contract total, and when your contract ends, switch if someone else is cheaper.
