HI @Akrussellgmail welcome to the forum.
That price suggests you are out of contract and paying the full price.
Suggest you phone Customer Options Team on 0800 013 2632 and ask them about your options.
You will always pay a line rental even if you have no landline phone. Think of it as a standing charge.

Use of the line for voice services (out going) is a separate cost, not charged if not used.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

It is worth thinking about what you use broadband for. You already said you don't use the landline, so you only use your broadband when you are at home (i.e. no other members of the household or CCTV etc. using it) then you may be better getting a suitable mobile contract and tether to your mobile instead.
If you do really need a fixed broadband connection and are out of contract, then shop around for the cheapest contract you can find - many are cheaper than your £41, especially if you include any cashback offers in the equation.
Edit: if you or anyone in your household happen to be on benefits (e.g. Universal Credit), then moving to a "social tariff" with another ISP may be the best way to get a cheap deal (Plusnet don't offer a social tariff)

Hi Alan
Suggest you take the advice of @Dan_the_Van above and ring PNet without delay. My own 18-month contract was up this month and I was billed something like £41 instead of £23 or so. PNet should have warned you that your contract was due for renewal and quoted you a price for another one?
