Is there an viable options available to me for internet without a phone line?

I am a heavy internet user with lots of downloading etc so a dongle is not really viable.

Any Ideas?

    that'll be no then :)
    lots of downloading = decent wired(or cabled) isp
    virgin media cable may be able to supply wires only, if available in your area

    There is such a thing as satellite internet, but I think it's really expensive and aimed at companies rather than individuals.

    You can buy internet sticks through some companies. Orange and vodafone do off the top of my head. You can have monthly contract or payg.
    Not sure if that helps

    ...with a tin can on each end works well as a phone, but start screaming data down it and you'll soon get a sore throat!
