Probably because everyone else who sells bundles hides some of the cost of the broadband in the line rental, hence they're able to sell the broadband at a lower headline cost.
VM do the same thing, which is why the cost of broadband and line rental taken as a bundle is lower than the cost of both added together separately.
Broadband a la carte 152Mb = £41/month, 12 month contract.
Broadband + phone = £20/month for 12 months then £30/month for 6 months + line rental @ £16.99/month, 18 month contract.
Total cost averaged:
Broadband a la carte: £41/month.
Broadband + phone: £36.99/month for 12 months, £46.99/month for 6 months = £40.32/month over course of contract.
