Virgin Fibre-optic b'band inc line rental pay £196 for the year

Options
This link says you can get Virgin fibre broadband for £196 for the year:
/phones/cheap-broadband?#virginfibre1

The costs it says are:
Line rental: £164 (if paid upfront)
Broadband 8 months: £32 (£4/month)
Broadband 4 months: £70

This has a total cost for the year of £266

The entry doesn't seem to make any mention of any other discounts, although when you click on the link it says you get £50 reward which brings it down to £216.

Not sure how this is adding up to £196 for the year. Is there some other hidden £20 discount that I am not seeing?

Let me know if you can make sense of it!

    Well the first two items I've highlighted add up to £196 but it's not a year's worth is it.

    You're correct - it would be £216 if you include the £50 voucher that you get.

    This is the link;
