Mystified by PN Bill

I have just received notice of my latest Plusnet monthly bill, for broadband and landline phone. The Plusnet accounting computer seems to me to have lost the plot!

A PN bill shows three main heading, two charges etc. and a total

Monthly charges: + Other Items: = Outstanding balance:

In this instance, the values for my bill are shown as: £8.16 + £0.00 = £8.16

That is, all the effective charges are in the Monthly charges heading. These are shown as:

Line Rental         -£1.71
Line Rental          £23.96
Line Rental          £1.71
Line Rental          £23.96
Line Rental          £26.53
Voicemail             £0.00
Line Only             £0.00
Unlimited Fibre   -£1.37
Unlimited Fibre   -£19.18

The first four items cancel out leaving just: £26.53 + (-£1.37) + (-£19.18) = £5.98
This is not the value of £8.16 shown as the total on my bill under Monthly charges. 

Of course, one might also wonder why the two(?) Unlimited Fibre charges are shown as negative... 🤔

...Wait a mo!

 

Over the page

Monthly charges:

Unlimited Fibre             £1.37

Unlimited Fibre             £19.18

Unlimited Fibre             £21.23

Discount                       £1.27

Promotional Discount  -£20.10

Promotional Discount  -£20.77

Caller Display               £0.00

 

This totals £2.18. Now, from above, £5.98 + £2.18 = £8.16!

 

But I think now it's me who has lost the plot...😶
