Just a guess, but does the figure from 13.10 include phone rental? Some bills were being merged last week, so may be to do with this.

Maybe they did to you as they did to me, get you to agree a deal and price then expire a discount on that deal a few months later and just say 'sorry but your discount has now expired' without bothering to tell you that the discount would expire!
A 'Sharp practice' VM seem to be Expert at!

You must be special to have received a bill within the last couple of days during the post strike :/

Re: XL Package price hike anyone else ?
Just checked my bill, and it states -
TV Size: XL 5 October - 4 November £20.50
Have you upgraded/downgraded any services lately?

Re: XL Package price hike anyone else ?
Well if Virgin are putting up the TV prices they've forgot to tell the staff and customers about it.
Most prob one of the following reasons:
1: You've had a offer that has now ended.
2: You've upgraded at some point and have been charged advance charges.
3: With the billing system change you've had a slight change in billing date. I.E. From the 7th of each month to the 13th. So this months bill is for a slightly longer period than 30days.

Re: XL Package price hike anyone else ?
Re-reading your post, you appear to being charged £29.35 for a months service (7 Oct - 6 Nov) - is it possible you could give the full description of each of the lines (like mine said TV Size: XL 5 October - 4 November £20.50 )?
Are there any other entries on your bill?

Re: XL Package price hike anyone else ?
This has just happened to me too; after thinking I had been permanently put on the 3 for £30 tarrif, I now discover they really only fobbed me off with a 6 month "special".
Web-Junkie is 100% correct!
