Unfortunately it's because whoever answered the email was being literal with what the system is saying. Customer Relations have systems that would give them the correct price after disconnection of services

would it really cost that much to get a new system that does what they want it to do.
Probably, as the system doesn't just handle the billing - it also makes the services work, so it's a bigger thing than just 'fixing' the pricing

Yes, but if you gave notice now, you would disconnect in December - so although the overall price is wrong, it would be correct for the line rental cost at the point of disconnection
