Does anybody know how Sky's billing works?

I got a phone call from Sky offering me the World Package. I didn't want it
(I don't like sports) so the bloke said there was a package with the films
for £27.25 a month. I was thinking of adding the films anyway so took him up
on it.

A letter from Sky arrived today saying they'd take the 1st payment of £36
then £27.25 every month after that.

Now I expected the 1st month's payment to be different as they activated the
film channels straight away so it's no a full month of the service...but
wouldn't that make the months payment less than £27.25?? Origionally I was
on a £20 per month package.

Any help is appreciated. Thought I'd make a fool of myself on here before
making a fool of myself to Sky customer services! )

Cheers

You are paying a month in advance so that would be £27.25 plus the balance
of
the current month at the higher rate giving you the total of £36 for the
first bill
after the upgrade.
