you probably can but as the one is ADSL it may use RJ11 and virgin media uses RJ45 (Ethernet) so if there is an ethernet port on the sky router it should work.

Nope, cable and ADSL routers are different and are not interchangeable.

No, you said it might work.

I said it 100% will not, RJ45 plug or not.
