Even if you were in a cabled area you'd have to pay for a Virgin

These days they'll sell you interweb without phone service.

Evidence?

Solo broadband is cheaper than taking broadband & phone line - yes, VM
do discount the broadband if you take a phone line as well, but the
total cost is still more. As ever, they'd prefer it if you took a bundle
and so both price and market their services accordingly - disentangling
the costs can take a bit of work.

However I'm pretty sure that when VM started offering solo broadband,
the cost was equivalent to a broadband + phone line bundle.
