I am currently on a FTC including telephone line, Fibre extra I think it's called, which ends Feb 25, logged in and saw that I have been offered a Part Fibre option with no telephone line for £21.99 Obviously this will increase at the end of March, typical, so I presume I would only get 1 month with the initial deal?
I'm not bothered about the land line, don't use it anyway. Currently I get around 74mpbs download and 18mpbs upload (same on wifi and ethernet)
Don't really want another long contract, but thinking about it. Although I get similar speeds, often better on a 4g router! so that's an option too. Would anything change apart from the phone line being disconnected?

In a word - no it shouldn't, but strange things sometimes happen - usually rectifiable, though.

If all you did was migrate your Plusnet contract from FTTC (VDSL+phone) to SOGEA (VDSL only), then nothing about your broadband is likely to change because typically the telephone exchange wires aren't touched in this process, and all that happens is that the phone number simply becomes electronically unavailable and disassociated from your copper wires.
However, by removing the landline phone capability from your Openreach Master Socket, that might give you the opportunity to improve your internal connections (such as unplugging the phone handset, removing any phone extension wiring, disconnecting DSL filters, etc) any of which MIGHT then give a slight improvement in broadband speed and latency.
