If I upgrade/downgrade my Priority plan, how does data consumption work?


For customers on Priority plans, increasing monthly data will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Change/Upgrade to higher cost plan: The change will be effective immediately. You will be charged a pro-rated cost dependent on the plan monthly cost difference and time remaining on your current billing cycle. (Note: Increasing monthly data blocks is not considered an upgrade, & will take into effect at the start of your next billing cycle)

Change/Downgrade to a lower cost plan: Your current service plan will remain the same, and your new service plan will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You will be charged the new monthly service cost at the start of your next billing cycle.

Change to a same cost plan: The change will be effective immediately. As there is no cost difference, the change will be at no cost to you.
