Landline is changing

Can anyone help please, my landline will be cancelled later this month. Will I still be able to use my SKy+ HD box or do I need to switch to different equipment?

For on-demand content, a suitable Sky+ HD box connects to broadband (usually over WiFi)  from an internet router: the built-in 'phone' (modem) socket was never used for this, and was there to provide basic interactive services and telemetry upload before broadband became widely available.

No, the requirement to connect your Sky box to the landline was dropped several years ago.
