BUSINESS PHONE AND BROADBAND
Effective communication is essential for all businesses. And a reliable phone and broadband connection is essential for effective communication, whether you're telling customers about a new service, managing reservations, or simply keeping office workers in the loop.
But if you haven’t switched your business broadband and business phoneline contracts in a while, then your current systems could be well out of date. This means you’re probably paying over the odds for your phone calls and your broadband speeds won’t be giving you bang for your buck.
And if you're getting by with a domestic broadband deal, you’re missing out on priority customer support, enhanced security, more reliable download speeds and better upload speeds.
When you compare business phone and broadband deals with Bionic, we’ll cut through the jargon and talk you through your options to find the best deal.

Business broadband
If you haven’t switched business broadband for a year or so, you could be paying too much money for too little speed. But it can be hard to know where to start when comparing business broadband. Bionic will cut through the jargon and talk you through your options to find the best deal.
You can choose to bundle your broadband with a business phone line or VoIP package or take out a business broadband only deal – the choice is always yours.

Business phone line
Every business knows the importance of being connected to the outside world, but have you ever stopped to consider whether your business phone line services are suited to your needs?
Do you really need a dedicated business phone, or will a domestic phone line do the trick? A phone line is a phone line, after all, but the reality is that a dedicated business landline is often more cost-effective and will offer several additional services that can really help your business.

Business SIM-only deals
A business SIM only deal works much like a normal business mobile contract in that it offers a package of minutes, text messages and data for a fixed monthly cost, but it doesn’t include the cost of a new device. That’s why it’s called SIM only.
Don’t make the mistake of staying on an expensive contract when you could save money by switching to a SIM only deal. Get in touch with Bionic’s tech-enabled experts to compare business SIM only deals.

Business VoIP
VoIP allows you to make voice calls over an internet connection, for a faster, more reliable, cheaper and future-proof way to stay connected. Why is it future-proof? You may not have heard, but the analogue phone system will be completely switched off by 2027, which means everyone who needs a landline will have to switch to VoIP.
If you’re worried about connection speeds, VoIP will work fine at speeds of just 1-2Mbps. Get ahead of the competition and switch to business VoIP now.
Business connectivity FAQs
To help you understand more about switching business phone and broadband with Bionic, here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
What’s the difference between a home broadband and phone package and one for business?
Although both supply the same internet connections via the same cables, business broadband packages offer much better technical support than home broadband packages. When you sign up for a business broadband deal, you can expect the following:
- Prioritised customer service and business-specific service-level agreements
- More reliable download speeds and better upload speeds
- A static IP address (making your connection more reliable)
- Enhanced security
- Access to additional phone services, including VOIP
How much does a business broadband and phone package cost?
This all depends on the speeds you need and the number of people that will be using your phone and broadband at once – the more people you need online and on the phone at any one time, the more you’ll pay.
We offer a range of business broadband packages that come with no download limits, and business phone deals that offer unlimited calls. You could save even more money by combining the two with one of our unlimited everything packages.
Is it better to get a package deal or to buy broadband and phone services individually?
Each business has different needs, so while a combined package might be best for one, it might not be the most suitable for another. Speak to our tech-enabled experts to find the best connectivity solution for your business.
Can I switch mid-contract?
You can switch your broadband and phone services mid-contract, but you may be subject to an early termination fee with your existing provider. Speak to one of our experts who will be able to advise on the best option for you.
I don’t need a landline. Can I get a broadband and VoIP package instead?
Yes. You can get a broadband and VoIP package to make calls instead of using a landline. VoIP is simply an alternative to a landline, whereby calls are made over an internet connection instead of the traditional copper cables that have been in use for decades.
It’s worth making the switch to business VoIP sooner rather than later, as the copper phone cables will no longer be in use from 2025 and are already being switched off in some areas.
What should I look for to get the best broadband and phone package deal?
What makes the best business phone and broadband package will depend upon the needs of your business, but look out for the following when comparing business phone and broadband packages:
- Priority customer support and priority network connection at peak times
- Unlimited data and calls
- An inclusive business VoIP line for incoming and outgoing calls
- Enhanced security features to protect your systems from hackers and viruses when you're online and protect you from infected flash drives
- A static IP address and web hosting capabilities
- A memorable phone number for your business at your request
