I don’t understand what’s happened here but I signed a contract with them with the agreed no price hike for 18 months. Everything was going as expected then suddenly my bill was hiked from £25.95 to £37.91. I don’t even have TV and I don’t use my phone. Is there something I’m not understanding about my Bill?

    Well if you don't use the phone why are you paying for the call boost?
    Best speak to TalkTalk.

    Yeah but you've got two figures there, £12, and £11.21.  In fact your £37.16 can be made up by adding £11.21 to the £22.95 plus £3 for the speed boost.

    I think part of the problem is the formatting has been screwed up by the forum software, which happens if you just do a direct copy and paste.  If you're able to do a screenshot of the bill and put that on the forum, it may solve where that label actually belongs.
