No.

For gaming I dont think theres a huge amount of difference between BB packages - except dont go for Sat. BB as the ping times are terrible.

Irish Broadband also offer BB with no landline but I think there have been a lot of bad reports from users - have a look around the Broadband forum

you dont need a phone line for ntl, but if you need a phone service go for VoIP, like www.blueface.ie
