they aren't in the line rental, ADSL setup and rental pays for that
side of it, call charges (minimum call chrge) for the voice side.

I think line rental should be proptioned to bandwidth, so 4 kHz worth
for the voice signal and then next 1.1 MHz for ADSL (more later for
ADSL2+) so removing the voice capability would save 0.0004% of the
cost :-)
