Well as ADSL is totally dependent on a phone line, how else are BT going to get money for the line? The line rental has nothing to do with whether you use it for voice or data (much like with mobile phones, as after all you still pay line rental on a mobile even if you only use it for data).
It's an unfair comparison because cable uses coax and is independent of the phone line. The same can be said of other Internet services that don't use the phone line.
LLU lines are another matter however.
