Virgin overcharging for a phone line

Hello,
I looked at new broadband deals to compare against my exsisting virgin broadband. I pay for broadband and phone line.
I have known that I dont have to have a virgin phoneline. However upon starting my contract - over a year ago - they told me it was a cheaper deal to inculde a phoneline. The contract ended but I stayed on the same tarif. But now its cheaper without a phoneline but i wasnt informed of this. I have never plugged in a phone or used it in anyway. Do they not need to inform of changes in the billing or am I being nieve?

No - your contract ended so you need to contact them to negotiate a new deal or move on to another ISP.
Otherwise they just keep you on a rolling contract at the cost you were paying before0 -
The prices on the web you are seeing are new customer prices.
You won't easily be able to select one and get a new customer price0
