Anyone here using Bell internet and have experience with  
downgrading from their unlimited plan at $100/mo to $85/mo for  
100GB?

I have a friend who is with the service and I've been tasked to  
make adjustments to save them money with the service where I  
can. Recently, we started one billing period at the unlimited  
for $100/mo plan. Then, about 15 days in, I noticed that my  
friend only used barely 20GB.  So.. I switched the plan to the  
100GB for $85/mo.

According to Bell, they claim to make prorated adjustments.

Bell, in their seemingly wise wisdom, managed to charge MORE  
than we expected.  Infact, their total calculation came to  
$103.50!

Here's how..

From Sept 17 to Sep 23:

[o] internet unlimited, $100,   7 days,   Amount 23.33
[o] internet 100GB,      $85CR, 7 days,   Amount 19.83CR

Total Partial and Other Charges & Credits:        3.50

Total Internet Charges                          103.50


How does that even work?

To me... a more honest calculation to benefit the user would  
be:

$100, 16 days used, .: prorate for 16 days, .: (16/30)100 = $53.33
 $85, 14 days remaining, .: prorate for 14 days, .: (14/30)85 = $39.67

.: total monthly = 53.33 + 39.67 = 93.00
