If you’re in the uk, you could change to a service like virgin media (cable) where you don’t need a phone line. Most operators use BT for broadband though, and they make you have a phone whether you need it or not.

Technically, yes, you can get DSL on a phone line without telephone service.

However, some places just don’t allow it.

If your area is not serviced by Cable and phone lines then may be try to
connect by WIFI. But to answer your question, No you do not have to have a phone number to use the internet from a phone co. But Internet service comes via Cable or Phone lines
the only other means is to connect over the Air (WIFI)
