Confused...What's happened to first 3 months free discount?

[#1]

Hi
Joined Plusnet a few months ago and so far very impressed.
After paying my first months payment of £11.49 I received an email from Plusnet saying I should have got the first 3 months free and so the next 3 months would be discounted.
But I'm a bit confused what seems to be happening
1st  month I paid £11.49
2nd month I paid £11.49
3rd month I got the discount I paid £0.00
This month I paid £6.50?
Is this a glitch in the system and are other users having the same problem?
Thanks.

Hi fiddiwebb,
Ok, I've worked out what's going on.
Your package is £11.49 for the first 3 months and then  £17.99 thereafter...
As the discount wasn't applied immediately the first two months you paid  £11.49 on those first 2 invoices
The 3rd invoice(27/09) for  £11.49  was fully discounted so the total was  £0.00
The 4th invoice(27/10) for  £17.99 was discounted by  £11.49 so you paid  £6.50
And the 5th invoice due 27/11 will also be discounted by  £11.49, so you will pay  £6.50 again
So in essence you have had 3 lots of  £11.49 discounted, equivalent to your first 3 months free.

Dear Mr Peter ******
When you signed up to our service, you asked for three months' free broadband but
unfortunately we didn't apply this correctly.
You might already have paid a bill to us so to make sure you get the right amount of
free service we're going to discount your next three invoices. This will ensure you
receive the same amount of money off as if you had your first three months free.
As soon as your next invoice is generated, you can follow this link:

Click on the invoice number and you'll see the applied discount.
We hope that this is OK for you, but please let us know if you have any concerns.
Kind regards,

So I think that's more or less the same thing, or am I having a blonde moment?
