If you have cable your ADSL service isn't necessarily bundled with a
phone line nowadays. :-)

However, if you have cable your TV service will probably be bundled with
a phone service instead. :-(

It's about time Sky brought out a package that didn't require a fixed
phone line for the first year; that might encourage the cablecos to
think about more solus TV packages. (Sky's argument is that the phone
line is necessary for chargeable interactive services, which I'm sure
many of us probably wouldn't want to use anyway...)
