Personally I (being old school) would always get a landline phone anyway, if only as backup when mobile services fail. Then you can at least try the broadband and as noted above cancel it if it's useless.
It's not clear what FTTC coverage is like in that area, only BT will know as and when you place an order...….

I don't know where you live, but round here I'd say most people are that, me included, even though we have FTTC cabinets and Virgin cable available for most of the exchange.
I'm about 1km as the crow flies from the exchange (cable route is longer) and get about 20mbps.
Our FTTC cabinet is actually much nearer the exchange than our house so though it would be faster it's not worth upgrading.
