Can I get internet without a phone line?

Yes, you can get internet without a phone line. Modern internet (cable, fiber, 5G) doesn't require phone service. You can get internet-only plans from all major providers without bundling phone service. Internet-only is often cheaper than bundles ($40-60/mo vs $70-90/mo for bundles). However, some seniors prefer bundles with home phone for emergencies and familiarity with landline. Options available: Internet only ($40-60/mo), Internet + phone bundle ($60-80/mo), Internet + TV bundle ($70-100/mo), Internet + phone + TV bundle ($90-130/mo). If you want to keep home phone for emergencies or prefer landline, ask about bundle deals which can save money. If you only need internet and use cell phone, get internet-only plan and save money.
