    if you are within a cable area, then you can get a broadband from Virgin without having a landline at all

    Watch out though, you will still have a landline, but it will be a Virgin cable one and you still have to pay rental to Virgin for it, and have no option on which phone call supplier or broadband supplier you use [it must be Virgin]

    As you are already with Virgin dial up, why not check out their [or others] ADSL offerings and keep the BT landline to keep all your options open

    I am Virgin ADSL with BT line, but others are available

    No you dont have to have a landline. You can have Virgin Media broadband only if you live in a cable area.

    £9 a month for first year then renegotiate price.;)

    Yes if you have a cable phone line you can have cable broadband added to your Virgin Media package.
