The landline connection is the bit of technology that connects your home to the local exchange/distribution point. No landline no connection!

This incurs a maintenance and provision cost. If you then connect a phone into it then the phone calls you make incur a charge, but are also routred differently.

This separation is perfectly reasonable.

The broadband charge relates to your ISP's delivery of their services which happens to be (unless wireless) via your local landline (local loop) connection usually supplied by a different party.
