In the UK, for most bills, it is line rental + provider fee. Line rental is to pay for the copper wiring that is still used for landline phones and all of the infra for it (via local loop unbundling). It goes to OpenReach and every ISP resells it unless they plant their own infra (Virgin, Hyperoptic)

Most ISPs sell broadband only plans now, even on copper installations.
