You're simply not looking at this from a logical point of view!
Arithmetic here in Scotland is a law of nature.
You are paying £25 per month for a BB service.
If you add a landline, the charge becomes £31.49, meaning that the additional charge for the landline is £6.49.
How it may be displayed on the bill is immaterial.
Someone paying £25 for a BB service pays £6.49 extra for the landline and, using the commutative law of arithmetic, would only save £6.49 if they chose to cancel the landline.
To show how your argument is flawed. Would you get the BB for £16 if you cancelled your £16 landline in your example? No.
