I have Qwest VDSL with digital TV, and no phone service. The way it worked 
for me was that I had to have the phone service initially, then was 
'allowed' to drop it after a short (couple months) period of time. That's 
how it worked for me anywise. It's been about 3 years since. I've had no 
problems. Their onsite techs (I moved a year ago) were actually quite good.

Seems like they change offerings from one month to the next, and as a result 
don't seem to know what's going on at times. IMHO
