Broadband for Renters UK
No landline. No engineer. No landlord permission. No contract. Get broadband in your rented flat or house today — SIM arrives tomorrow.
Over 4.6 million households in the UK rent privately. Most are locked out of the cheapest fibre deals because they can't commit to a 24-month contract or get an engineer to drill into someone else's property. Mobile broadband for renters solves all of that — it's a SIM card in a router, no installation required, cancel anytime.

Renter Broadband FAQs
Can I get broadband in a rented flat without a landline?
Yes. Mobile broadband from Silux Mobile requires no landline, no BT Openreach engineer, and no landlord permission. You simply insert a SIM card into a 4G/5G router and connect your devices. Perfect for renters.
Do I need my landlord's permission to get broadband?
For traditional fibre broadband, yes — an engineer often needs to drill holes or install a socket. With Silux Mobile's mobile broadband, there's nothing to install. No permission needed.
What if I move flat — can I take my broadband with me?
Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages of mobile broadband for renters. Your SIM card and router move with you. There's no waiting for a new line to be installed at the next property.
Is mobile broadband good enough for a flat?
Absolutely. Most UK flats have excellent 4G or 5G coverage. Silux Mobile's unlimited plans deliver speeds of 20–300 Mbps depending on your coverage — enough for multiple devices, Netflix, gaming and working from home.
How quickly can I get broadband in my rented flat?
Order before 3pm for next-day Royal Mail delivery. Insert the SIM into your router. You have broadband the same day your SIM arrives — no waiting weeks for an engineer.
Will my broadband price increase during my contract?
No. Your price is fixed for the life of your plan — there are no price increases during your contract and no annual inflation-linked price rises. What you sign up at is what you pay.
Are broadband upgrades free?
Yes. Silux Mobile offers free broadband upgrades — move to a faster plan or upgrade your router with no upgrade fee. Free upgrades are included as standard.
