No cable broadband involves dialling up, it's just there, always on.
I have read reports of people installing AOL on NTL cable without the CD but can't verify there reliability. I would think that you could do or at worst remove all traces of the software after registering.
Sky insist on a phoneline for you to take advantage of the interactive discount which enables free installation. They do not always check that it is connected though. They do insist on a phoneline and do check regularly if you are getting a mirror subscription for a second digibox. Possibly to stop you slipping a cable through to next door and selling the neighbours half price Sky.
Sky have never stipulated that I should have a BT line or queried who I got my telephone service from on any installation I have ever had and it's been a few.
