You got your installation at a discount rate in return for agreeing to keep the box connected to the phone line. They periodically tell your box to 'phone home' in the middle of the night to check that it is still connected. If they find that you have disconnected it, they will come after you for a big wedge of cash. If the install has been done properly the line won't be in your way - just leave it and forget about it. You can rip it out once you're out of your initial 12 month contract with Sky.
