It doesn't cost extra money to have additional Wi-Fi networks.  You can have as many as you want, within reason.  For example, you can install additional Access Points throughout your place to provide better Wi-Fi coverage.

 

If you are sure that you have removed the old modem/router providing the old Wi-Fi network, then your device(s) may simply be showing the old network as a recently joined network.  You can tell the device to "forget" it.  Google forget wifi <os>, where <os> is either windowsosx, ios, or android to find instructions for removing old networks from your devices.
