hi @Diane180
SKY will not be aware whether customers have or don't have Internet - SKY Q, in theory can be used without internet once authorised but in reality is not really ideal & likely to cause frustration
Despite the tone of the letter, your Sister-in-Law does not need to take up the offer.
Edit : For info you may wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q

Sky installers have been known not to put Q in place at addresses where no internet is present because so much Q functionality (and contracted services) rely on broadband and that's likely to lead to customer dissatisfaction.
Q Mini boxes essentially will not function without an internet router being active to provide configuration details.
