After recently upgrading my broadband package from essential to super fast I have noticed the landline no longer works. It uses the same router as before that the phone was connected too.
The phone shows a message saying "check phone line".
Thanks in advance.

It looks like the sky broadband hub.
I do also have the sky q box but the phone line was setup to the broadband hub and that setup hasn't changed since I've upgraded so it should technically still work as it previously did.

Perhaps that's not the hub I have. As there is no voice light or socket for UK phone.
The lights I have at the front are Power, internet, wireless (all lit up green). And the sockets at the back are broadband, Ethernet 1 & 2 and the power cable.

That's a Q Hub: for telephony after SOGEA broadband provisioning you need to use a Sky Broadband Hub or Max Hub.

Thank you for clarifying which hub I have.
So, I gather I need to contact Sky to get them to send me out a broadband hub to replace the q hub, which should then hopefully resolve my phone line issue?

As all now provisioning (including upgrades) is now to SOGEA broadband then yes: you'll no longer have PSTN at the wall socket and you need a Sky Broadband Hub to use Sky Talk Internet Calls.
Despatching that model and requesting the return of the Q Hub should have been an automatic part of the process.
