Hi
Is it possible to get broadband if there isn't an active landlinein the house.

I don't know if there was ever an active land-line.

Thanks

If there was never a landline then you will need to arrange an install for a LL, takes about 5 days after that is installed before the line can be tested for BB
But it's wise to check how far you are from the nearest cabinet or exchange before even going thru that hassle to get an idea of what speeds you could get (or ask the neighbours that have BB)

Hi shenanagans,

You would need to get a phone line in the house to check if you can get broadband.

Thanks,
