Sorry, this is going to be a bit long!
I have a feeling I have double-ordered a speed upgrade. Currently I am on a 200 Mbit contract which was upgraded to 350 as a 'Volt Benefit (I think? I had Virgin Mobile phone, now O2.) Shown as M200 M350 in my services
On Sat May 4th I had a text on my phone:
Boost your broadband speed today for 50% OFF our usual offer price. Go, go, go! Tap here to claim virginmedia.com/boost-bb T&Cs apply. See virginmedia.com/prices
I 'tapped here' and completed the form, and got this email in return the same day

On Tues 7 May, when I powered up my Superhub 3, it was still on 350 Mbit. When nothing had happened by yesterday Thurs 9 May, I went to MyVirginMedia to 'My orders' and it said 'You have no orders'. I assumed my first order had got dropped or lost and looked at My Offers and found

Hi MY_NAME,

As you’ve changed your package part way through your billing cycle, your next bill will feature only part of the charges for your new service. You’ll pay the full amount you were quoted every month after that.
So, I think I may have double-dipped! I hope I haven't lumbered myself with paying £5 more a month for the same thing if you see what I mean. Is there anywhere I can contact to sort out the pickle I may have got myself in?
You may think that £5 a month is not very much but I'm on a pension so have to keep unecessary spending down.
