Has anyone had an e-mailed invoice this month?

[Chris Marriott]

As per the subject line, has anyone been e-mailed a PDF invoice this month?
My invoice is on the (now Vodafone-branded) eBill system, but I haven't been
sent the invoice by email, as I normally am.

Anyone had one?

Thanks,

Chris

Not since 2nd March- my last ebill.

On the 24th March, I received the email informing me of 'Billing changes
from 1st of April 2013' but nothing since. I've not been expecting one
quite yet.

Yes, so did I :). I was keen to get this bill because I've just been
upgraded from "Home Office 8000" to "Business Unlimited", and I wanted to
make sure that the amount was correct for the new service type (it is).

Thanks,

Chris

But I've moved to BizUnlimited, so I don't care.

How many ergs does it take to transmit and display a bit?

It is a grossly inefficient message format. One line of text would be
enough.

I still get an invoice despite leaving Demon when I was in credit. It
will be interesting to see what happens next.

Most companies nowadays seem to think that the branding is more
important than the actual message content. :(

And use tools that generate flaccid HTML code with vastly oversized
unoptimised images. I guess bandwidth has become too cheap.

The latest fake Lloyds Bank announcement ones are very convincing copies
apart from the destination being some dodgy Russian gotcha site.

No, I've had 2.

Upgraded to ADSL2+. 10/4 Got invoice I expected for whole year + free
router + pro-rata refund for old service.

Got 2nd one today for the ADSL2+ line regrade. 1st look at front sheet I
thought they were still charging the old monthly payments. Had to read
the 3rd page to see the actual reason for charge and that it was a one-off.
