No, Sky use either the old copper pair phone lines or fibre to the premises (if available). FTTP would use Openreachs network still and would require a new cable ran to the house.
Edit: there are other options re. Openreach but it amounts to the same thing.

Only Virgin Media or an ISP which has a distribution deal with Virgin can use that connection.
