Virgin: Unless I've missed something in their checkout basket, you are forced to take their telephone if you take either their cable broadband or TV. You are told there is no need to retain your BT line; but VM don't provide any services via the BT line like BT and SKY do.

So, unless there's some method I've not discovered for not taking a VM phone line with BB, there's no valid comparison with other broadband providers.
You do not have to have a Virgin Media phone line for any of their services!

I have their TV and BB but no phone.

They have plenty of options without phone line:
