Check AvailabilityWhat is Plusnet Broadband Only (SOGEA)?
Plusnet broadband-only packages use SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) technology. This allows you to get broadband delivered over the existing phone line infrastructure without paying for an active phone service. You get the same speeds and reliability, just without landline calls.
For Full Fibre packages (145 Mbps and above), the technology is even simpler - fibre optic cables run directly to your home (FTTP), so there's no phone line involved at all. This is the most modern and reliable type of broadband connection available.
Whether you choose standard fibre or Full Fibre, you'll enjoy the same award-winning Plusnet service - just without paying for a landline you don't need. Most customers save by switching to broadband-only, especially if they already use mobile phones for all their calls.
Benefits of Broadband Only
- ✓No Line Rental: Save money by not paying for a phone service you don't use. Broadband-only packages eliminate unnecessary landline costs.
- ✓SOGEA Technology: Standard fibre packages use Single Order Generic Ethernet Access - broadband over the phone line infrastructure but without active phone service.
- ✓Full Fibre Available: FTTP packages don't need phone line infrastructure at all - pure fibre direct to your home for the fastest, most reliable connection.
- ✓Same Great Speeds: Broadband-only packages offer identical speeds to phone-inclusive deals. You're not missing out on performance.
- ✓Price Lock Guarantee: Your monthly price won't change during your contract - no surprise mid-contract increases.
- ✓Award-Winning Support: Yorkshire-based UK call centres with real people who care about solving your problems.
- ✓Free Setup: No activation fees on most packages - just sign up and get connected.
- ✓Flexible Upgrade Path: Move to faster speeds anytime if your needs change.
Things to Consider Before Going Broadband Only
No Emergency Landline
Without a landline, you can't make emergency 999 calls from a home phone. Ensure all household members have mobile phones for emergencies.
Personal Alarms May Not Work
Telecare devices and personal alarms that rely on phone line connections won't function. Check with your alarm provider for alternatives.
Phone Number Lost
If you currently have a landline number, switching to broadband-only means losing that number permanently. It cannot be recovered later.
Full Fibre Availability
The fastest broadband-only packages (Full Fibre 145-900) require FTTP infrastructure in your area. Check availability at your postcode first.
Sky/Freesat Boxes
Some older Sky boxes used the phone line for on-demand content. Modern boxes use broadband instead, but check your specific setup.
Broadband Only FAQs
Will I lose my phone number if I switch to broadband only?
Yes. If you currently have an active landline, switching to broadband-only means your phone number will be permanently disconnected. You won't be able to recover it later, even if you add a phone service back. If keeping your number is important, consider a package with phone service included.
Can I still make emergency 999 calls?
Not from a landline - you'll need to use a mobile phone for emergency calls. This is important to consider for households with elderly residents or anyone who relies on a landline for emergencies. Make sure everyone in your household has access to a charged mobile phone.
Is broadband-only cheaper than packages with a phone line?
With Plusnet, broadband-only packages are priced the same as standard packages - the difference is you're not paying for call services you don't use. Some providers charge less for broadband-only, while others include basic calls anyway. Plusnet's approach means you get straightforward pricing without paying for unwanted phone services.
What happens to my Sky box or personal alarm?
Older Sky boxes that connected via phone line for on-demand content won't work. Modern Sky Q and Sky Glass use broadband instead, so they're fine. Personal alarms and telecare devices that use phone lines will stop working - contact your provider about alternatives that work over broadband or mobile networks before switching.
Can I add a phone line later if I change my mind?
Yes, you can add phone services to your Plusnet package later. However, you'll be assigned a new phone number - your old number cannot be recovered once disconnected. There may also be setup fees depending on the type of connection you have.
Do I need any special equipment for broadband only?
No. Plusnet provides the same Hub Two router for broadband-only packages as they do for packages with phone service. The router handles your WiFi and internet connection exactly the same way. For Full Fibre, an additional ONT (Optical Network Terminal) box is installed by Openreach, but this is provided free as part of installation.
