i'm with plusnet and I know they will connect you up without a contract, costs a bit extra for the connection though than if you had a 12month contract.
Also what about a 3G dongle or something, I had one when I moved in here before I sorted out the phone line/bb and it served it's purpose, cheap enough to buy now as well.

Use something like inSSIDer and do a scan, if anyone is using WEP then you can crack it fairly easily. But the easiest option would be to tell Sky to do one and get ADSL from someone else
