Was paying BT £18.99 line rental and £24.99 for broadband.
Not got a landline phone but thought I needed the landline for broadband.
Cancelled the landline but still have broadband. Been wasting £300per year on nowt.

Are you saying you ditched the actual phone, kept broadband and don't pay land line rental?
I'd like to do that, then, but would BT allow it? BTW 12 x £19 = £228 or am I missing something?
Could be wrong, but I suspect OP has been confused by the recent change that mandates that line rental has to be included in broadband price. So he might just have an all in one price.
is there a deal for broadband less than 15 quid per month all-in?
I know one thing for sure. When my landline was down a few months ago I still had broadband. I asked BT about this and they said there was two different connections in my phone socket.
Saw a special offer at the Post Office this morning. From memory it totalled £35 per month
If i miss my bill by say a day as i pay by card not DB they cut my phone by not my internet
Sometimes it has been 2-3 months before they have cut the internet and then i just pay on screen and it comes back on( still paying line rental but can't make call )as i hardly use the phone

I can make calls as soon as paid obviously expecting me to run up lot's of high rate calls and do a runner 
On virgin you can opt out of a landline but the broadband price increases....that tells you all you need to know; that the arangement is financial.

Yes the virgin new deals include the rental and state it clearly
There was something in London coming out im sure on trial no line required
People in flats probably share one line and all just use same modem
Like with sky multi room just get 1 or 2 extra boxes and split the bill with a few others they don't have to be in the same house
Or stream for free even better

thinking of getting rid of broadband all together.
charging me £34 a month. single broadband. no landline.
feels like extortion.
