I got an email this morning telling me this :
We've received your payment for the initial broadband fee, thank you.
Initial fee: £86.99
This is your first month's subscription, along with any applicable
hardware and P&P charges.
I wanted to upgrade my dialup to broadband value, stating this :
First 3 months free^
10GB usage allowance
Up to 20Mb speeds1
Free wireless router worth £40
No-contract option
Save money by recommending friends
Following the ticket I've opened, I understand that you had to create a temporary Broadband Your Way just to place my order, which will be changed to broadband value when my order completes.
Will I be charged those £86 or is part of the initial order process and won't be charged this amount (even the prices don't match with the value broadband, I was charged for the router which I shouldn't be as I suppose to have a 12 months contract, and the initial activation fee shows as £40 gross, when the activation fee for broadband value supposed to be £25.
Even the postage and packaging cost is more expensive on the invoice, they charge £6.99 instead of the £4.99 mentioned in the email I received.
They even charged twice the VAT at 17.5 from the starting price, once for each item, and once more on the total.
This transaction shows in my list of recent payments in my account, so is it more likely that I am definitively charged for that amount?
And don't I suppose to have 3 months free? So why the email seems to imply that the payable fees include the first month subscription?
Something is not right somewhere.
can someone clarify this? I nearly had a heart attack this morning when I read the email.
I have a new account that is created with the new broadband account and a new email address. I have 2 domain names with my old dialup account, one of them is my main email address, will there be a problem with my email account when I move to broadband? I would like to keep using my domain name as my email address.
