DSL operates by splitting the available frequency of a telephone line into two. One part is used for voice communication (telephone) and the rest is used for data communication (internet). Various methods are implemented for efficient usage of telephone line.

the fibre optic cable cant be layed to reach each home the equipment is way to expensive. thats why DSL utilizes our cheaper telephones cables (copper cables) to transmit data signals along with telephone voice signals. The two signals are split by a device called splitter. The data signal is then transmitted to the DSL modem and the voice signal to a telephone.

A telephone connection is not necessary for a broadband connection even if you are getting one via copper cables (laid for use by landline phones). Most private companies will provide a plain DSL/ADSL connection without too much fuss. It is BSNL which (I think) insists on a land line phone being present to offer one.If you go for fibreoptics-or-cable-based broadband, the question is irrelevant.
