Yes, it seems they did. Here's one article about it.

I'm sure if the price was right VM would happily take money from Sky, and then introduce some BB products 'exclusive' to VM customers. Imagine how all the Sky fanboys would cry foul then...
Yes, they probably would. However Sky possibly wouldn't do it, through fear of enticing their customers to switch TV product as well (i.e. from Sky TV via digital satellite to Virgin Media cable TV). AOL didn't have anything to lose and, at the time, saw a value in their online content therefore bundleing with as many broadband connections as possible made commercial sense.
