Not always. If you have a standard PC at home and, possibly, a network, then yes you will either need a BT line and broadband or a cable service (which gets a phone line).
The alternative is, if you have a laptop, is look at the mobile connect cards that companies such as vodafone and t-mobile are offering. There new packages run at speeds of upto 1.8Mbs - so although not as fast a new broadband is normally enough, and the t-mobile package is on £17.00 per month for a 2G monthly download limit.

No but you have to run a cable into your house and most cable companies do really good deals on broadband and phone packages.

Yes. The wire must carry a live electrical current.
