@Anonymous User Since broadband is delivered over a landline, you need it. Also, landlines have a phone number associated with them, so you get that as well. You are not under any obligation to actually make phone calls on the landline. However, it is worth getting a cheap wired phone, which you don’t need to plug in, as I can almost guarantee that should you ever report a broadband fault, you’ll be asked “do you get a dial tone”.
