[Internet] Does Bell prorate add-ons, price and qty?

Looking at possibly running out of data. With the new $4/GB overage rate, the $5/25GB add-on looks pretty good (which is why they increased the overage rate, presumably).

If I add the $5/25GB a week before the cycle end, I'm pretty sure they prorate the package (am I right?). But then do they also prorate the extra data, e.g. if there's a week left do they charge $1.25/6.25GB, or $5/25GB and it's up to you to consume that much in a week?

And do they prorate when you cancel, and again do they also prorate the extra data?

Thanks!

you get the full extra usage amount and you get charged the full price

whats your billing date bell has 4 billing dates each month

Thanks, paying full price for full allotment seems reasonable.

11th of the month.

I'm 73% of the way through this cycle and have used 82% of my allowance. I may be able to squeeze through the month without going over, but with the new $4/GB overage rates, I don't have to go over by much to be worth paying $5/25GB (which of course is the reason they just jacked up the PAYG overage rates).

Does this situation happen often? There is an unlimited usage plan for 10 bucks a month if you have 3 services

Thanks for the suggestion. I have only one service so it's $30. I usually bump up close to my limit but usually I end up at about 85-90% of my limit (which requires monitoring but once I get to 80% I know to be careful for the rest of month).

I'm on a 40GB/mo plan to another $5 for 25GB would really increase the limit as a percentage.
